ABSTRACT:
An electric power starter generator system comprises a synchronous generator and an induction motor/generator mutually coupled to a shaft being driven to an external prime mover. The synchronous generator and the induction motor/generator are driven by the shaft at the same speed. The system includes a rectifier/inverter having ac terminals coupled to the output of the induction motor/generator, and dc terminals coupled to a dc bus. This rectifier/inverter allows bi-directional power flow to effectuate both power generation as well as electric start of the prime mover. The synchronous generator is excited by a commonly driven permanent magnet generator and a modulated exciter field control. The induction motor/generator is self-exciting through the rectifier/inverter once a voltage is established on the dc bus. The establishment of this voltage may be accomplished by a battery, or by connection of the synchronous generator's output to the input of the rectifier/inverter through a poly-phase contactor. This contactor also allows cross connection of either machine to either distribution bus if one of the machines were to fail, or if the loading on that particular bus became excessive.
