ABSTRACT:
A starting system for a prime mover coupled to a generator includes a step-up inverter which converts DC power at a first voltage into AC power at a second, higher voltage. Halfwave pulses in the AC power are selectively applied to the generator by a pulse-population inverter coupled to the step-up inverter such that the generator is operated as a motor to supply motive starting power to the prime mover.
