Transfer Characteristics of Brushless Aircraft Generator Systems

This paper analyzes the rotating-rectifier type aircraft generator with its exciter and rectifier from the standpoint of its role as an element in a closed loop regulating system. It discusses the transfer characteristics of the brushless generator system in relation to its normal design parameters and its performance characteristics and presents data, largely in graphical form, for use in calculating the transfer characteristics. Further, it describes the very significant influence of the rectifier system on these characteristics.
