A frequency converter converts one alternating current with a certain frequency and voltage into another alternating current with another frequency and voltage. With the converted voltage and frequency the consumer is supplied. |
Frequency
16 2/3 to 800Hz
|
At present for this purpose electronical devices are used; in the past grids with different frequencies were coupled over rotating converters. Nevertheless in railway converter stations up to now mechanical systems are used.
