Abstract
A synchronous generator start converter offers power conversion for performing multiple functions such as starting AC generators as a motor, charging batteries and also providing regulated DC output without degradation of input power quality. The converter utilizes common magnetic components and common semiconductor rectifiers within its three subcircuits. The three subcircuits include flyback converters, a square wave inverter and a field excitation controller.
