    摘要: A common-mode voltage cancellation (CMVC) circuit (117), is disclosed. The circuit includes a first set of coupled inductors (555), each having a primary winding (511) defining a first polarity, and a secondary winding (512, 522, 532). The secondary windings (512, 522, 532) are electrically coupled in series. Each primary winding (511) receives a phase voltage (VA1, VB1, VC1) having a common mode voltage (Vcm) component from a respective input line (110). The circuit (117) includes a second set of coupled inductors (620) comprising at least one primary winding (621) and at least one secondary winding (612, 622, 632). The at least one primary winding (621) receives a second voltage (VA2, VB2, VC2) from the series connected secondary windings (512, 522, 532) of the first set of coupled inductors (555). Each at least one secondary winding (612, 622, 632) is coupled in series with a respective input line (110) such that the common mode voltage component (Vcm) received on the input lines (110) will be reduced at an output of the set of secondary windings (612, 622, 632).

    摘要: An aircraft starting and generating system includes a starter/generator (100) and an inverter/converter/controller (200) that is connected to the starter/generator (100) and that generates AC power to drive the starter/generator (100) in a start mode for starting a prime mover of the aircraft, and that converts AC power, obtained from the starter/generator (100) after the prime mover have been started, to DC power in a generate mode of the starter/generator (100). A four leg inverter (550) is coupled with the DC power output (452) and has an Inverter/converter/controller (ICC) (200) with a four leg MOSFET-based bridge (580) configuration that drives the starter/generator (100) in a start mode for starting a prime mover of the aircraft, and converts DC power to AC power in a generate mode of the starter/generator (100). A four leg bridge gate driver is configured to drive the four leg MOSFET-based bridge (580) using pulse width modulation (PWM) during start and generate mode.
