Commutating pole rotary converters for railway service are normally arranged for automatic compounding which is effected by the proper combination of series excitation and inductance between the generator and the rotary converter.
These converters are adapted for a variety of purposes where a variable conversion ratio is required, either to maintain constant D.
In the majority of cases two or three phase converters are used on account of economy of copper in the transmission line.
The change in commutator voltage for constant collector ring voltage is in virtue of the property of rotary converters that the ratio of these two voltages is a function of the width of the pole arc.
Converters may be operated inverted where it is required to furnish constant or variable A.
Shunt wound converters are satisfactory for substations in large cities and similar installations where due to the larger number of car units demanding power, the load is more nearly constant.
Converters of this type are built in capacities from 300 kw.
It is liable to flash over at the direct current brushes, which is common in high frequency converters where there are a great number of poles and the brushes are necessarily spaced close together around the commutator.
The application of commutating pole converters is particularly desirable where special requirements such as great overload capacity or large capacity and low voltage enable them to show to the greatest advantage.
It is simply a combination of two standard pieces of electrical apparatus, accordingly there are incorporated in it no details of construction essentially different from those encountered in standard rotary converters and alternators.
Commutating poles as applied to rotary converters fulfill the same functions as in the more familiar applications to dynamos and motors.

The converters indemnified themselves at the expense of another frontier population, that was not dependent on France.
It is used for starting rotary converters and direct current motors of large capacity having starting torque small enough to permit cutting out the starting resistance in few steps.
The introduction of synchronous motors made it necessary that the arc should be extinguished immediately, otherwise the synchronous motors and converters would drop out of step, and the system would in this way be shut down.
Will our kind converters to the new reading of the ways of Providence reflect maturely on this matter?
Some converters are provided with a small induction motor for starting mounted on an iron bracket cast in the converter frame, and whose shaft is keyed to that of the converter.
