Explain:- Rotary Converter:
A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter, or frequency converter. It is used to convert AC to DC or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid-state power rectification and inverting. They are commonly used to provide DC power for laboratories and also can use for commercial purposes.

Mercury arc rectifier:
A mercury arc rectifier is a type of electrical rectifier used for converting high-voltage or high-current alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). This power of converting is basically through a large-scale. The operation of the rectifier relies on an electrical arc discharge between electrodes in a sealed envelope containing mercury vapor at very low pressure.

Motor-Generator set:
They consist of a (3-phase) motor either Synchronous motor or Induction motor, directly coupled to a DC generator As the motor speed depends mainly on the mains frequency, these units are relatively insensitive to variations in the supply voltage The cost of a motor-generator set is high and widely used in welding sets.
