ABSTRACT:
An excitation system for a brushless generator having a main generator portion including a field winding disposed on a rotor and an armature winding disposed in a stator includes an exciter portion having a set of polyphase exciter field windings disposed in the stator and an armature winding disposed on the rotor and coupled to the main generator portion field winding. A first power converter is coupled to the main generator armature winding and a second power converter is coupled to the set of polyphase exciter field windings. Contactors are operable in a starting mode of operation to couple a source of electrical power to the first and second power converters and are operable in a generating mode to disconnect the source of electrical power from the first and second power converters. A control unit controls the power converters such that the power converters provide AC power to the main generator armature winding and to the set of polyphase exciter field windings during operation of the starting mode so that the rotor is accelerated. The control unit operates the power converters in the generating mode such that the second power converter provides AC power to the set of polyphase exciter field windings and the first power converter develops constant-frequency AC power.
