Recording Rectifier Current

The following table identifies the fields required for recording rectifier current (rectifier DC amps and volts; rectifier anode output current, and rectifier negative output current).

Recording Rectifier Current Values

Facility & Current Type

Description

Rectifier:
DC Amps and DC Volts

Add the following fields in the Rectifier Information grid:

  • Activate Rectifier Output Current Found

  • Activate Rectifier Output Volts Found

The following fields make up the shunt conversion factor and can be added to the Information grid:

  • Rectifier Output Shunt Factor (A/mV): use this field to enter the amps value of the shunt conversion factor. Enter as a whole number value.

  • Rectifier Output Shunt Rating (mV/A): use this field to enter the millivolts value of the shunt conversion factor. Enter as a whole number value.

Add the following fields to the Rectifier Inspection grid:

  • Rectifier Output Current Found (Amps)

  • Rectifier Output Volts Found (Volts)

  • Rectifier Output Current Left (Amps)

  • Rectifier Output Volts Left (Volts)

  • Rectifier Current Adjusted

Rectifier:
Anode Output Current

Add the field Number of Impressed Anodes to the Rectifier Information or Inspection grid.

The Rectifier Anode Information mini-grid in the Rectifier Information grid automatically includes the following fields for entering anode data:

  • Impressed Anode Current Minimum (Amps)

  • Impressed Anode Current Maximum (Amps)

  • Impressed Anode Shunt Rating (mV/A)

  • Impressed Anode Shunt Resistance (Ohms)

  • Impressed Anode Shunt Factor (A/mV)

See Working with Rectifier Anodes for more information.

Rectifier:
Negative Output Current

Add the field Number of Negatives in either the Rectifier Information or Inspection grid.

The Rectifier Negative Information mini-grid in the Rectifier Information grid automatically includes the following fields for entering rectifier negative data:

  • Negative Current Min (Amps)

  • Negative Current Max (Amps)

  • Negative Current Shunt Rating (mV/A)

  • Negative Current Shunt Resistance (Ohms)

  • Negative Shunt Factor (A/mV)

See Working with Rectifier Negatives for more information.
