Q. What does 'Static Converter Fitted' or similar annotation mean on a locomotive?
Locos traditionally had a rotary converter (of Arno make) to generate 3-phase AC on board to power auxiliary equipment such as traction motor blowers, compressors, exhausters, etc. Starting in the 1980s static converters using solid-state circuitry to generate 3-phase AC on board have been used instead of the Arno converter, driving up efficiency and reliability by eliminating the moving parts that the Arno contained.
Static converters and microprocessor control have now become standard kit for all new production WAP-4s beginning...
