Control apparatus for a starter/generator system

摘要

A control apparatus ( 202 ) for a starter/generator ( 110 ) of an aircraft electrical power system is provided. During a start mode of operation, AC power is provided by the control apparatus ( 202 ) to an exciter stator ( 114 ) of the starter/generator ( 110 ) which is combined with controlled AC power supplied by a start converter ( 106 ) to a main stator ( 116 ) of the starter/generator ( 110 ) to rotate and start an aircraft engine. Alternatively, during a generate mode of operation after engine start, the control apparatus ( 202 ) provides DC power to the starter/generator ( 110 ) to produce a regulated voltage output from the starter/generator ( 110 ).
