Mercury-arc rectifiers were chosen principally owing to their efficiency being almost independent of load, and because they are only slightly affected by heavy current surges; further points in their favor are that they are simple to start up and shut down automatically, while their space requirements are small; rectifiers were manufactured by A. E. G., of Berlin, and have normal output of 1200 kw.
