Abstract
An apparatus for improving the transient response of a power supply system having an alternator for developing AC power and a rectifier for converting the alternator output into primary DC power includes a second rectifier for rectifying the alternating current power from the alternator to derive supplemental DC power and means responsive to a parameter of the primary DC power for coupling the supplemental DC power to the primary DC power when the parameter drops to a particular value so as to minimize the effect of load changes on the system. The purpose of the disclosed system is to allow the alternator to be sized for minimum electromagnetic weight while at the same time providing a simple means of reducing load application transients.
