Claim:
1. A generator system comprising: a synchronous AC generator having one or more phases; a transformer having the same number of phases as the AC generator; for each phase of the AC generator, a capacitive element receiving the current from a respective output winding of the AC generator for conveying in series to a primary winding of a respective phase of the transformer, each capacitive element having a first terminal electrically connected to the respective output winding and a second terminal electrically connected to the respective primary winding, the capacitive element having a capacitance that, in conjunction with the total closed-loop inductance of the AC generator and the transformer, causes resonance of the generator system at a frequency greater than or equal to the operating frequency of the synchronous AC generator; a prime mover in driving engagement with the AC generator; and a load connected to a secondary winding of the transformer.
