Talk:Norfolk and Western LC-1 Class

11kv single-phase to 750V three phase
The wording here is confusing, if not wrong. Transformers can raise/lower the voltage, but they cannot create three-phases from a single phase. I agree that the motors on this locomotive were three-phase, but there would have been an intermediate step ... probably a motor-alternator set. KirksKeyKard (talk) 18:52, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right. Middleton mentions a rotary phase converter, which was powered by the stepped-down single-phase AC. I'll re-word. Mackensen (talk) 19:07, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
