ABSTRACT:
A generator field regulator circuit communicates with a field winding of a Lundell machine and includes a first transistor. A second transistor has a source that communicates with a drain of the first transistor and a drain that communicates with one end of the field winding. A free-wheeling diode communicates with the drain of the first transistor and a source of the second transistor. An overvoltage detection circuit modulates a gate of the second transistor. A pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit modulates a gate of the first transistor to maintain generator rectified voltage at a nominal level. The overvoltage detection circuit outputs an overvoltage shutdown signal to the PWM circuit during a full-load dump mode to turn off the first transistor, which turns off the second transistor. The overvoltage shutdown signal is disabled when a terminal voltage of a generator falls below a predetermined voltage.
