These grids are fed by separate generators in some traction powerstations or by traction current converter plants from the public three phase AC network.

For example, spent refractories are used as a flux at the Inco Copper Cliff Nickel Refinery converter plant.

In the 2000s the Research and Development Center in Detroit as well as the North America catalytic converter plant came on stream.

Converter substations may be associated with HVDC converter plants, traction current, or interconnected non-synchronous networks.

That dip was partly caused by the delayed restart of the converter plant, with the backlog in stocks to be processed by the end of the third quarter.
