Section I. DESCRIPTION OF RECTIFIERS RA-36-J, -K, -L, -N, AND -Q, AND RECTIFIER 6RB6BI7 I. General a. DESCRIPTION. Rectifiers RA-36-J, -K, -L, -N, and -Q, and rectifier 6RB6B17 are complete battery-charging rectifiers, each assembled and mounted in a fabricated sheet-steel case. All units except rectifier 6RB6B17 include a filter reactor which is mounted separately. These rectifiers are full-wave, tungar bulb type rectifiers, built to charge lead-acid type storage batteries. For description of the two types of controls used, see paragraph 13. The filter reactor is an iron-core choke coil. When used with these rectifiers to charge batteries associated with telephone systems, the filter reactor minimizes objectionable hum, which may be induced into the communications circuits. b.
