Abstract
Technologies described herein are directed to a generator concurrently providing different voltages to multiple components, some of which are unable to receive the full supply voltage output by the generator, without the addition of an electronic power converter or a transformer to the apparatus or system.
Claims15
A three-phase generator for supplying power to a component of a transport climate control system, the three-phase generator comprising:
- an electrical stator winding having multiple coil turns,
- wherein the electrical stator winding is connected to an electrical load,
- a distal output power lead disposed at a distal end of the electrical stator winding;
- and
- at least one intermediate output power lead disposed at an intermediate distance between the power source and the distal end of the electrical stator winding,
- wherein a number of the coil turns determines a generator output voltage at the distal output power lead and at the at least one intermediate output power lead.
3 more elements
A transport climate control system, comprising:
- a generator that provides three-phase AC voltages;
- a climate control circuit that includes a compressor that is powered by the three-phase generator;
- a first load that is powered in a first mode;
- and
- a second load that is powered in a second mode,
- wherein the generator is configured to concurrently provide a first voltage level to the first load and a second voltage level to the second load, wherein the first voltage is greater than the second voltage.
