36 Phase Rectifier

02/05/2011 1:40 AM

I've been looking through some old textbooks. I've found a drawing for a 12 phase rectifier but I can't find the book with a 36 phase rectifier. I recall it had 3 inter-phase windings. I've a horrible feeling my ex wife sold the book.

It had weird and wonderful things like the Ayton & Perry gaining clock Joule meter. Can't remember the author but I'd love to find a copy.

But back to the question, anyone got a drawing of a 36 phase rectifier?

Thinking about it. There would be a bank of 8 mercury arc rectifier bulbs to handle the AC incoming. So that makes it 48 phases!

Do you perhaps mean a "36 pulse rectifier"?

If it is an old title then try

www.lindsaybks.com

This guy has some strange old stuff. If not he may know how to find what your looking for. I have several of his stuff and liked them all. The book on cupola furnaces is great. I have the "new" second edition copyright 1906!

Is it 36-Phase or 36-Pulse Rectifier?
