Abstract
A method for electrically shorting a high current, low voltage, single, chloralkali, membrane, electrolytic cell of a certain configuration to permit first its removal from a system, comprised of a plurality of electrically series connected cells, for maintenance purposes and then its return to the system. The method comprises first employing an electrical jumper circuit, comprised of two sets of bus bars and a switch, to electrically short out two adjacent cells, one of which is to be removed from the system to undergo maintenance, and then to modify the circuit in situ to enable the shorted cell adjacent to the cell to be removed to be returned to the system almost immediately.
