LEICHTGEWICHT-GENERATORMASCHINENSATZ

摘要

A generator for generating an AC signal to a load is disclosed. The generator comprises a stator (210) including at least one winding (60,2604), a rotor (220) disposed relative to the stator (210) such that relative motion of the rotor (220) and stator (210) causes magnetic flux from the rotor (220) to interact with and induce current in the stator winding (602,604). The generator also includes a rectifier circuit (706) responsive to current in the stator winding (602,604) for generating a DC signal and a variable frequency invertor (906) responsive to the DC signal. The rectifier circuit also generates a control signal indicative of current drawn by the load, for generating the AC signal, the frequency of the AC signal being selectively varied in accordance with current drawn by the load.
