The invention relates to an electromechanical assembly comprising: an alternator with a wound rotor; a regulator acting on the excitation of the alternator; a rectifier at the outlet of the alternator, supplying a rectified voltage to a continuous bus; and a booster circuit connected by means of a filter to the outlet of the alternator and supplying a voltage to the continuous bus.

Electromechanical assembly comprising an alternator

The invention concerns a reversible current rectifier, for connection to part of a polyphase network and to a continuous bus comprising a plurality of rectifier cells each rectifier cell including a rectifying device and a on-way electronic switch connected in anti-parallel with the rectifier device, the rectifying devices of different cells being arranged so as to form one rectifier. Each rectifier cell comprises means for controlling the electronic switch of the cell arranged to control the latter in closure after detecting a conduction of the rectifying device of the cell so as to enable current to be returned to the network. The control means are arranged to receive a signal external to the cell, for controlling the opening of the electronic switch, derived from another rectifier cell.

Rectifier and system for controlling the speed of an electric motor

The present invention relates to a circuit for producing electricity, the circuit comprising:

Electricity production circuit

The invention provides a device for producing electricity intended in particular to be stowed on board a vehicle or a container, including a three-phase alternator able to be driven in rotation at a variable speed by a thermal engine, a rectifier for generating a rectified current form the current delivered by the alternator and a voltage-booster chopper using the self-inductance of the alternator to step up the voltage. The alternator includes six or eight poles and operates with a switching frequency of preferably between 3 and 15 kHz.

Device for producing electricity having voltage-booster chopper circuit with an IGBT transistor

A device for producing electricity, the device comprising a three-phase alternator comprising three windings, a rectifier for converting the AC delivered by the alternator into rectified current, and a voltage-raising chopper using the self-inductance of the alternator to raise the voltage. The device includes a switch unit enabling the three windings to be connected either in a star configuration when the alternator is being rotated to produce electricity, or else to the respective phases of a three-phase network when the alternator is stopped.
