A power system may generate electrical power or receive an alternating current from an external power source via a port. The power system may configure a plurality of contactors in a partial line switching unit to unlink a plurality of generator windings of a transmission integral generator wherein the plurality of generator windings are connected to the port through the partial line interface switching unit. The power system may condition the current as the current flows through the plurality of generator windings, wherein the plurality of generator windings produce an impedance to support an active rectification process by a machine controller. The rectified output is then made available for distribution. The power system may accept direct current for use in an inversion process by a machine controller. The plurality of generator windings can form part of a low-pass LC filter to condition the alternating current resulting from the inversion process.
