Abstract

This paper traces developments in high-voltage mercury arc valves for HVDC power transmission in relation to problems conceming "consequent" failure. Investigations are reported on the physical conditions in valves during and after high forward current pulses. An account is given of some of the main development work aimed at producing valves with greatly reduced consequent failure probability.
