This study describes the design, construction, and testing of an aero-engine starter-generator and its associated power electronic converter. A high-speed, permanent magnet machine and a dual-channel machine-facing converter with an electrical power offtake rating of 95 kW have been developed for a small civil turbofan application. The study also describes the more-electric architecture into which the machine and converter are integrated and reviews the multi-faceted performance specification, which is a common feature of machines of this type.
