An aircraft electrical system comprises a generator to be driven as part of a gas turbine engine. The generator supplies electrical power to a plurality of accessories associated with the gas turbine engine, and to an aircraft DC bus in parallel to the supply to the accessories. A battery supplies voltage to a control circuit for the generator through a selectively opened and closed switch. A control detects a short circuit on the aircraft DC bus. The battery switch allows power from the battery to flow to provide control voltage for the generator when the control detects a short circuit on the aircraft DC bus.

The problem of reducing harmonic content of AC bus voltage in a power system (10) is minimized using a controller (30) for a PWM inverter (38). The controller (30) develops a duty cycle command on a line (40) for controlling operation of the PWM inverter (38). The controller (30) develops the duty cycle command to maintain the PWM inverter output voltage at a desired level. This duty cycle command is modulated in accordance with the harmonic content evident on a DC bus (34) which supplies power to the PWM inverter (38).

The problem of excess size and weight resulting from the use of current sensors in a VSCF start system is solved by a motor control system which utilizes a current estimator to develop a current feedback value. The current estimator is coupled to a rotor position detector and an input power detector to develop a signal representing the estimated current drawn by the motor.

The generator supplies electrical power to a plurality of accessories associated with the gas turbine engine, and to an aircraft power bus in parallel to the supply to the accessories. A control detects a short circuit on the aircraft power bus. When a short circuit is detected on the aircraft power bus, a switch is driven open to disconnect the aircraft power bus from the generator. In this manner, the power will continue to be delivered to the plurality of accessories. In a separate feature, a control voltage is provided by an auxiliary permanent magnet generator to a voltage regulator for the main generator.
