  • Patent number: 8796871
    Abstract: A turbine engine starter-generator including a main electrical machine including a stator and rotor with a wound rotor inducer and damper bars forming a cage, and an exciter including a stator inducer and rotor with rotor windings connected to the rotor inducer of the main electrical machine via a rotary rectifier. During a first starting stage, the electrical machine operates in asynchronous motor mode by injecting AC into its stator windings, a starting torque being generated by the damper bars, without the rotor inducer of the main electrical machine contributing significantly to generating starting torque. Then in a second starting stage, the main electrical machine operates in synchronous motor mode by injecting AC into its stator windings, while feeding its rotor inducer with DC via the exciter, the change from the first stage to the second stage taking place when rotation speed of the shaft reaches a predetermined value.
