As mentioned elsewhere the original Bombes were powered by Mercury Arc Rectifiers from a three-phase AC supply. Health and Safety considerations make this impractical in the 21stcentury. We have therefore built a unit using modern semi-conductor rectifiers to which has been added a DC version of an earth leakage trip. This unit only required a single-phase supply and has power in reserve to drive a single Bombe
