Rectifier - Full Wave ·Rectifier-Rectifier
Directly heated mercury-vapor full-wave rectifier for efficient high-voltage power supplies. Gas-assisted conduction provides substantially lower forward voltage than conventional high-vacuum rectifiers.
Mercury-vapor full-wave rectifier.
Medium-shell UX 4-contact
