Extract

In previous communications to the Society the author has discussed the eddy current losses in the sheaths of cables supplying a polyphase alternating current system; and has given equations from which the loss could be computed in any case. The present communication deals with the particular case of the cables leading from the supply-transformers to the electrodes of a mercury vapour rectifier, and derives interest from the fact that the loss in the sheaths is found to be substantially independent of their nature.
