A modified inverter/converter unit electronically commutates a switched reluctance machine to provide multiple voltage levels for engine and aircraft applications. A set of power switching transistors apply an exciting current to windings in the switched reluctance machine to produce power at a first voltage level. Additional voltage levels may be provided by using the turns ratio from one or more transformers and the switching frequency from the power switching transistors. Alternatively, additional voltage levels may be provided by using windings of a plurality of transformers internal to the switched reluctance machine.
