When used this way, it is called a rotary converter.

However this system was later abandoned in favor of rotary converter stations.

Also,five rotary converters were installed to supply the required DC power.

In 1936, these rotary converters were replaced by mercury arc rectifiers.

Also, heavy-duty thermal equipment was shutting down because of failing rotary converters.

Conversion is done by rotary converters or electronic inverters.

This makes the rotary converter a hybrid dynamo and mechanical rectifier.

This is called an inverted rotary converter (see Inverter).

The rotary converter can directly convert, internally, any type of electric power into any other.

The self-balancing dynamo is of similar construction to the single- and two-phase rotary converter.

Rotary converter plants were also used for coupling power grids of different frequencies and operation modes.

Formerly rotary converters changed frequency to interconnect two systems; such substations today are rare.

The sub-station used four 800 kW rotary converters.

The upper level has a concrete platform, supported on brick piers, where the rotary converter was located.

Even generating stations and loads using different frequencies could also be interconnected using rotary converters.

A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier or inverter.

The original 500 kW rotary converter motor-generator is no longer used and is on display at the museum.

(Available devices, such as the rotary converter, were less efficient and required considerably more maintenance.)

Electric generating sets and rotary converters.

Also see rotary converter.

Former machinery transmitters like the Alexanderson alternator were, strictly speaking, rotary converter plants.

In this first illustration of a single-phase to direct-current rotary converter, it may be used five different ways:

Rotary converters provided high current DC power for industrial electrochemical processes such as electroplating.

This solved overheating problems with the rotary converters used to generate some of this power from the grid supply.

When properly designed, these rotary converters can allow satisfactory operation of a three-phase motor on a single-phase source.
