Since the sectional mercury arc rectifier was introduced a few years ago, many improvements have been made in the design of the rectifier unit as regards both performance and convenience of operation. These improvements have been incorporated in the design of the 3,000-kw 625-volt rectifiers being supplied for the New York City Independent Subway System. Performance of these new units and factors determining design features are discussed in this article.
