Rotary Converter
Description
PO-250A rotary converter
PO-250A is an electromechanical rotary converter used to supply measuring equipment associated with the TGU-8 turbine-generator unit and the PAES-2500 mobile power station, also identified as EG-2500. The documented load also includes the IV-41M engine vibration meter. The converter changes 27 V DC input power into stabilized 115 V, 400 Hz single-phase AC for equipment that requires this supply. The Cyrillic nameplate designation ПО-250А and the complete execution must be checked when selecting a replacement.

Motor-generator construction and control box
The PO-250A comprises a motor-generator assembly and a control box mounted on the converter structure. Two electrical machines share one housing and one shaft: a four-pole compound-wound DC motor and a four-pole single-phase synchronous generator. The generator uses a stationary magnetic system and a rotating rotor with two slip rings for AC collection. This is the operating principle of a motor–generator, in which the input motor mechanically drives the output generator.
Electrical output and operating mode
The rated input is 27 V DC and stated input current is no more than 25 A. At the output, the converter supplies 115 V single-phase AC at 400 Hz, with a rated apparent output of 250 VA, 2.17 A output current and a lagging power factor of 0.9. The common shaft operates at 12,000 rpm. The control box provides remote starting and stopping, stabilizes output voltage and filters radio-frequency interference produced during converter operation. The circuit permits remote starting without limiting the starting current.
Environmental limits and maintenance data
Published operating conditions cover ambient air from −60 to +50 °C at ground level, relative humidity up to 98% at +20 ±5 °C, and operation at altitudes up to 8,000 m at +60 °C. The converter uses protected construction with through-flow self-ventilation. Mass of the complete converter with control box is 9 kg. The specified brush grade is MGS-3; brush size is 6.5 × 8 × 22 mm and the assembly uses four brushes. These values must be checked against the passport of the offered unit before testing or installation.
Identification, related equipment and enquiry
Selection requires comparison of the PO-250A marking, 27 V input, 115 V/400 Hz single-phase output, mounting frame, connectors, control box, wiring and installation documentation for the intended equipment. Related catalog positions include PO-750A, PO-1500 Series 4, PO-3000S and POS-1000A. These links support navigation and do not establish interchangeability. State the required quantity, condition, marking, equipment application, delivery scope and documents when requesting supply.
