Abstract:
1. A cycloconverter generator equipped with a magneto having three-phase output windings, single-phase output windings facing the permanent magnets to produce phase signals each indicative of a phase of the output of the magneto, a bridge circuit comprising positive and negative switching elements bridge-connected in antiparallel connection to the three-phase output windings to constitute a cycloconverter, and an AC power generator that generates single-phase AC power to be supplied to a load by turning on the positive and negative switching elements at variable timing every half-period of a desired AC power frequency based on the phase signal, comprising: a DC power generator that generates DC power to be supplied to the load by turning on one of the positive and negative switching elements in accordance with a timing determined by desired DC voltage based on the phase signal; and a selection switch that is installed to be operable by an user and produces an output indicative of a result of the user's selection between the AC power and the DC power.
