Converters are motor generators which produce the required operating frequency via the combination of motor drive with mains frequency and generator. Up until approx. 1970, converters were supplied in horizontal or vertical versions of approx. 30 kW to 3,000 kW. Due to the relatively low efficiency level, the complicated regulation and the repair requirements, converters have been increasingly replaced by static frequency converters.
