Member Question: We recently received a rotating frequency converter for repair. It appears to be a wound-rotor motor coupled to an induction motor. The drive motor is not the same speed as the wound-rotor motor. How does this work?

The rotating frequency converter is exactly as you describe. Usually the drive motor has fewer poles than the wound-rotor motor, so the wound-rotor motor is driven faster than its synchronous speed to increase the frequency of the output.
