Alternative mains frequency energisation systems
K. Parker · Institution of Engineering and Technology eBooks · 2003
Although the majority of existing operational single-stage precipitators use full wave mains rectification for energisation, there is a growing trend to adopt other means of energisation to overcome the deleterious effects of reverse ionisation when handling high resistivity dusts, and/or to optimise power consumption on large installations. These alternative systems are reviewed in this chapter.
