Combined Starting/Generating System and Method Abstract A power conversion system for converting be- tween electric and motive power may be utilized either in a generating mode to generate electric power from motive power supplied by a prime mover or in a starting mode wherein motive power is developed by the power conversion system from electrical power and is supplied through a torque converter to the prime mover to start same. The power conversion system includes a main generator, an exciter and a permanent magnet generator, or PMG, which together comprise a brushless alternator. When operated in the starting mode, power is supplied to the PMG to cause it to act as a motor and thereby drive a rotor which is common to the PMG, exciter and main generator. Once a predetermined operating condition of the generator is attained, the main generator is supplied power from a motor control to cause the generator to act as a syn- chronous motor and the power supply to the PMG is discon- nected. The torque converter is then commanded to trans- fer motive power from the generator to the prime mover to start same.
