Recording Rectifier Current

Information in the following table (Table 7-2) identifies the fields required for recording rectifier current (rectifier DC amps and volts; rectifier anode output current, and rectifier negative output current).

 

Table 7-2. Recording Rectifier Current Values 

Facility & Current Type	Description
Rectifier: DC Amps and DC Volts	1 Add the following fields in the Rectifier Information grid: • Activate Rectifier Output Current Found • Activate Rectifier Output Volts Found As an option you can also add the following fields in the Information grid: • Rectifier Output Shunt Factor (A/mV): use this fields to enter the amps value of the shunt conversion factor. Enter as a whole number value. Together the value in this field and in the Rectifier Output Shunt Rating (mV/A) field make up the shunt conversion factor. • 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. Together the value in this field and in the Rectifier Output Shunt Factor (A/mV) field make up the shunt conversion factor. 2 Add the following fields in 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 in either 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.
