26. An a-c ammeter (iron-vane type) registers 8.4 amp when placed in the load
circuit of a half-wave Rectigon rectifier. What will be the deflection on a d-e
ammeter (D'Arsonval type) when placed in the same circuit?

full-wave rectification and deliver a load current of 16 amp at 12.4 volts. (a)
Draw a circuit diagram for the problem. Calculate: (b) the effective current in
each half of the transformer secondary; (c) the voltage rating of the transformer
secondary, assuming a tube drop of 12 volts.
28. A half-wave Rectigon rectifier delivers a d-c load of 10 amp at 20 volts. If the
primary and secondary voltages of the transformer are, respectively, 115 and 62,
calculate: (a) the tube drop; (b) the primary current, neglecting the exciting
current.
29. Assuming a rectangular wave form, calculate the effective anode current in a
two-1ode mercury-arc rectifier for a d-c load of 50 amp.
80. A two-anode mercury-arc rectifier has an arc drop of 15 volts and delivers a d-c
load at 120 volts. Calculate the maximum potential difference between cathode
and anode.

following d-c loads in the given multianode mercury-arc rectifiers: (a) 75 kw,
230 volts, three anodes; (b) 1,500 kw, 1,200 volts, six anodes; (c) 5,000 kw,
2,400 volts, 12 anodes.
82. A two-anode mercury-arc rectifier delivers a load of 5.98 kw at 115 volts. If the
primary of the transformer is connected to a 4,600-volt source, the tube drop is
15 volts, and a rectangular waveshape is assumed for the anode current, calcu-
late: (a) the anode current; (b) the voltage rating of each of the transformer
secondary windings; (e) the primary eurrent, neglecting the exciting current;
(d) the kilovolt-ampere rating of the transformer primary; (e) the kilovolt-
ampere rating of the transformer secondary.

energized from a 4,600-volt three-phase source through a three-phase transformer
whose primaries are in delta. Assuming an arc drop of 20 volts, caleulate: (a)
the d-c load current; (b) the voltage and kilovolt-ampere rating of each trans-
former secondary; (c) the current and kilovolt-ampere rating of the three-phase
A
transformer.

a rating of 5,000 kva and 13,800/930-1,860 volts. Assuming a 25-volt arc drop,
calculate: (a) the d-e load voltage, current, and power; (b) the anode current.
