Electrical current testing, discussing fusing and oxidising currents in a higher output machine.

at each heating must get progressively weaker until ultimately
it goes. The normal fusing current is, as mentioned
recently, about 28 amperes, the oxidising current will be
perhaps 17 or 18 amperes, corresponding approximately to the
peak ampere output ( field current not subtracted) in this
higher output machine.

We shall be making further tests in regard to the
extent of damage possible as a result of faults on the
system.
