This invention relates to a VSCF system for aircraft power generation having a DC source, the DC source producing a substantially constant voltage DC signal. An inverter is coupled to the DC source and receives the DC signal, applying a PWM pattern of switching transients to the DC signal to produce an AC signal from the DC signal. The subject invention contemplates the addition of a feedback circuit which comprises a transformer providing an inductive coupling between the AC signal at a point of regulation and the DC signal at a point between the DC source and the inverter to eliminate short duration switching transients in the PWM pattern. Modulation of the DC signal allows short duration switching transients in the PWM pattern to be lengthened, thereby avoiding physical minimum time switching limitations in the switches of the inverter. Feedback of the AC signal allows inverter frequency to be changed while maintaining synchronization between the DC signal modulation and PWM pattern fed to the inverter.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for reducing the overvoltage transients present on the alternating current power signals provided by the cycloconverters of a variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) system during the first several cycles of the alternating current after a load reduction or no-load condition occurs. An overvoltage transient reduction circuit is connected to each of the plurality of D.C. control signals provided by the phase voltage regulators to the waveform generator of a conventional VSCF system. The overvoltage transient circuit and method of the present invention senses the current amplitude level in each of the alternating current power signals in the VSCF system, and automatically reduces the voltage amplitude levels of the D.C. control signals provided by the phase voltage regulators to a preselected lower level within one-half cycle of the alternating current after a load reduction occurs. This reduction in the amplitude level of the D.C. control signals is maintained by the circuit and method of the present invention until the voltage regulating control loop of the conventional VSCF system can again assume control of the voltage levels of the alternating current power signals.
