Rect-o-Lite 45T Carbon Arc Rectifier Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-21-2001 02:41 PM                     Yes some of the older low intesnsity system used a common rectifier or MG set and one had to "steal the Arc" from one machine to the other As for welders as previously mentioned certain one if they have the correct duty cycle cn be used for carbon arc operation. Even certain Xenon systems run on them  |  IP: Logged Larry Shaw Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Boston, MA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 06-21-2001 02:51 PM                        Sorry, it was an attempt at humor......  |  IP: Logged Tom Hutchinson Film Handler Posts: 11 From: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Registered: May 2001 posted 06-21-2001 03:08 PM                     Josh, the best rectifier for your application would be a Strong Utility 4 tube single phase. Failing that, Kneisley 4-tube single phase. The Kneisley rectifiers have a weak point in the tap switch; it often arcs and corrodes; other than that the rectifiers are OK. These rectifiers will draw about 9 amps at 240 volt. They are suitable for 40-45 amps, 6 and 7 trim. There are unlimited amounts of these in theatre basements and behind screens; lots in Canada just north of you too.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-21-2001 04:00 PM                     Larry your humour was not lost on me  |  IP: Logged Josh Jones Redhat Posts: 1207 From: Plano, TX Registered: Apr 2000 posted 06-21-2001 04:07 PM                        Yes, there may be bunches of them in canada, but try and get a pair across the border Josh  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-21-2001 05:16 PM                     Since they are originally manufactured in the US and are returning to the country of origin there is now duty Also under NAFTA projector parts are duty free  |  IP: Logged
