be heavy enough.it willmeet opposition in the shunt resistance and passover the shunted gaps, through the series resistanceto the ground. The arc which tends to follow thedischarge is then withdrawn from the shuntedgaps by the shunt resistance, and aided by bothresistances is suppressed by the… … At this instant the medium resistance, M, aids the rectifying qualityof the gaps, GM, by shunting out the low frequency current of thealternator. On account of this shunting effect the current dies out sooner in thegaps, GM, than it otherwise would. In the same manner, but to a less degree, the…
