Switched Reluctance Generator Priming Strategy

摘要

A method of priming a common bus (114) of a machine (100) having an engine (102), a generator (110) and an auxiliary power source (126) is provided. The method may determine an operational state of the auxiliary power source (126), operate the engine (102) at a predetermined idle speed if the auxiliary power source (126) is determined to be inoperative, and enable the generator (110) to regulate the common bus (114) in response to the predetermined idle speed of the engine (102).
