Patent ID: 7960939

Claim:
A fuel/electric drive system comprising: an internal combustion engine; a generator which is driven by the internal combustion engine and which has a first stator winding set; a first rectifier which is connected on the alternating voltage side to the first stator winding set and on the direct voltage side to a first direct voltage circuit; a first power inverter which is connected on the direct voltage side to the first direct voltage circuit and on the alternating voltage side to a drive motor, wherein the generator has a second stator winding set, wherein a second rectifier is connected on the alternating voltage side to the second stator winding set and on the direct voltage side to a second direct voltage circuit, wherein a second power inverter is connected on the direct voltage side to the second direct voltage circuit and on the alternating voltage side to the drive motor, and wherein x further power inverters are connected on the direct voltage side to the first direct voltage circuit, where x>1.
