| 1. | Royal Station, having a combined capacity of 5, 000 mercury arc rectifiers.
|
| 2. | The mercury arc valves of Pole 2 were replaced later by Siemens.
|
| 3. | The valves consist of thyristors, or at older plants, mercury arc rectifiers.
|
| 4. | Also devices with mercury arc rectifiers or vacuum tubes were in use.
|
| 5. | The original link used mercury arc valve converters, and was rated at.
|
| 6. | Medium or low-pressure mercury arc lamps can excite these respective transitions.
|
| 7. | Mercury arc valves were also used on the following HVDC projects:
|
| 8. | Power electronics started with the development of the mercury arc rectifier.
|
| 9. | Mercury arc valves for HVDC were rugged but required high maintenance.
|
| 10. | In 1961 the mercury arc tubes were replaced by replaced by silicon diode rectifiers.
