A POWERFUL AC-DC CONVERTER
Abstract
The difficulties in creating powerful rectifiers are mainly due to the fact that high voltage accumulates in the discharge gaps which undergo preliminary ionization; this decreases their electrical and rectifying strength. In the examined converter the air gaps (at a pressure of 5-10 abs atm) are not ionized, since with air pressure greater than 3 abs atm and voltages less than discharge voltages, there is no corona discharge. The converter consists of a transformer unit which creates a multiphase closed winding, a switching device, and rectifiers. (Author)
