Dynamotor

A dynamotor is a type of electrical converter that combines the functions of a dynamo (generator) and a motor. It is classified under the supply class "Converters, Electrical, Rotating" in the supply group "Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment".

Dynamotors are commonly used in various applications where electrical power needs to be converted from one form to another. They are often used in military and aerospace systems, as well as in industrial and transportation sectors.

The main function of a dynamotor is to convert direct current (DC) power into alternating current (AC) power or vice versa. This conversion is achieved by utilizing the motor function to drive the generator function or vice versa. This makes dynamotors versatile and efficient devices for power conversion.

In addition to power conversion, dynamotors can also provide voltage regulation and power conditioning functions. They are designed to be compact, reliable, and capable of operating in harsh environments.

Overall, dynamotors play a crucial role in various electrical systems, providing efficient power conversion and distribution capabilities.
