Abstract:

The problem of providing field power to a stationary main generator field winding (22) is addressed such that it can be used as a motor. A dynamoelectric machine (12) is operated as both a generator and a motor. An AC-AC exciter (14) is controlled by an exciter inverter (42) to operate as an exciter generator in a generate mode, and as a rotary transformer in a start mode. The exciter inverter (42) supplies low frequency power to an exciter field winding (28) in a generate mode of operation, and supplies high frequency AC power to the generator field winding (28) in the start mode of operation.
