Operation of mercury arc rectifiers gener ally results in increased harmonic currents in the rectifier supply circuits and may result in increased harmonic voltages. While these harmonics usually are not serious from the standpoint of the power system, they may result in interference to com munication circuits exposed to the power circuits. This paper presents a method of computing these harmonic voltages and currents, and discusses methods of coordi nating telephone systems and a-c power systems supplying rectifiers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
