Starter Generator – DC 23065 Series

Description

The 23065 Series DC Starter Generators manufactured or cataloged by Safran Power (TRW Lucas Goodrich) operates as a motor to provide torque for engine starting and as a generator to provide DC electrical power after engine starting is complete. When used as an engine starter, the starter generator can be energized either by batteries or by ground-power units. The starter-generator utilizes a series starting field and should be started with the shunt field de-energized. The Output Rating is 9 Kilowatts, and the CMM provides a chart with the Generator Rating for Continuous Load within Speed Range and the External Starting Power. Generally, these Starter Generators are used on turboprop and light jet 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.
