Function
TO DELIVER BOTH AC AND DC POWER, OR A COMBINATION OF THE TWO.
Technical
ALTHOUGH MADE THE SAME WAY AS A ROTARY CONVERTER, IT DELIVERS DC FROM THE COMMUTATOR END AND AC FROM THE COLLECTOR RINGS. IT CAN DELIVER EITHER ALL DC CURRENT, OR ALL AC CURRENT, OR A COMBINATION OF THE TWO. IT IS USEFUL WHEN ONE PART OF THE OUTPUT OF A PLANT NEEDS DC NEAR AT HAND, AND PART NEEDS AC FOR TRANSMISSION TO DISTANT POINTS. IT HEATS UP MORE THAN A ROTARY CONVERTER BECAUSE IN BOTH ENDS, IT ACTS AS A GENERATOR. BOTH ENDS ARE SEPARATELY EXCITED TO ENSURE A STABLE FIELD. (REF. 1)
