Abstract: A power system includes an inverter that convert a DC voltage to a three-phase alternating current (AC) voltage. One or more switch drivers generate a pulse width modulation (PWM) drive signal that drives the inverter. The power system further includes a controller that determines a modulation index associated with the PWM drive signal and injects a harmonic into the PWM drive signal in response to the modulation index exceeding a modulation index threshold value.

Abstract: An inductor housing for housing an inductor having a core and a winding includes an outer annular wall and a third wall extending inward from the outer annular wall such that the outer annular wall and the third wall at least partially define an annular cavity configured to receive the inductor. The inductor housing further includes an attachment feature configured to couple the inductor housing to a secondary housing. The inductor is configured to be enclosed within the annular cavity and the secondary housing, and coolant from a coolant supply is configured to flow past the annular cavity and contact the winding of the inductor.

Abstract: A transformer-inductor assembly includes a core, a primary winding, and a secondary winding. The primary winding is wrapped about the core. The secondary winding is wrapped about the primary winding. One or more ferromagnetic bars per phase are arranged between the secondary winding and the primary winding to control the inductance to the transformer-inductor assembly secondary winding. An electrical system including the transformer-inductor assembly and method of transforming voltage of alternating current using the transformer-inductor assembly are also described.

Abstract: A variable-speed constant-frequency (VSCF) power converter includes a generator control operable to regulate an output voltage of a variable frequency generator at a variable frequency. The VSCF power generator also includes an inverter control operable to regulate a VSCF output voltage at a point-of-regulation at a constant frequency, where the generator control and the inverter control independently control a main line contactor of the point-of-regulation to provide redundant fault protection for an aircraft use.
