Starter Generator – DC 23046 Series II

Description

The 23046 Series II DC Starter Generators manufactured or cataloged by Safran Power (TRW Lucas Goodrich) are designed to operate as a motor providing torque for engine starting and (after engine start-up) generating DC electrical power. The Rating is 6 kW and 200 A at a Continuous load within the speed range. The Voltage (gen. output) is 30 V, and the External start power is 28 V max. Generally, these Starter Generators are used on turbine helicopter and turboprop aircraft serving the commercial and military sectors and are self-excited machines incorporating four main poles and four interpoles. During on-ground operation, a fan attached to the anti-drive end of the drive shaft supplies forced-air cooling. In flight, the starter-generator, in addition to the fan, is blast-cooled through the air inlet and the aircraft’s air duct system.

Part numbers for this series include but may not be limited to 23046-021, 23046-022, and 23046-027.
