MARINE AC GENERATOR SYSTEM AND METHOD

Abstract:

A marine AC generator system includes a marine generator driven by an internal combustion engine and configured to generate an AC current and a rectifier configured to rectify the AC current to provide a DC current. At least one battery is configured to receive and be charged by the DC current. A battery powered inverter is configured to be powered by the at least one battery and to generate a variable current output frequency such that an AC electrical power is provided to a load when the marine generator is not running.
