3. Rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

   A rectifier used in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems and industrial processing between about 1909 to 1975 is a mercury-arc rectifier or mercury-arc valve. The device is enclosed in a bulbous glass vessel or large metal tub.

4. Mercury-arc valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-arc_valve

   Mercury rectifier on display in the Beromünster AM transmitter in Switzerland, before being decommissioned.Three-phase full-wave rectifier with six anodes. A mercury-arc valve or mercury-vapor rectifier or (UK) mercury-arc rectifier [1] [2] is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).

5. HVDC converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter

   The basic LCC configuration for HVDC uses a three-phase Graetz bridge rectifier or six-pulse bridge, containing six electronic switches, each connecting one of the three phases to one of the two DC terminals. [12] A complete switching element is usually referred to as a valve, irrespective of its construction. Normally, two valves in the bridge ...

6. Active rectification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_rectification

   However, even Schottky rectifiers can be significantly more lossy than the synchronous type, notably at high currents and low voltages. When addressing very low-voltage converters, such as a buck converter power supply for a computer CPU (with a voltage output around 1 volt, and many amperes of output current), Schottky rectification does not ...

7. High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia

   Long distance HVDC lines carrying hydroelectricity from Canada's Nelson River to this converter station where it is converted to AC for use in southern Manitoba's grid. A high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current (DC) for electric power transmission, in contrast with the more common alternating current (AC) transmission systems.
