Abstract
A variable speed, constant frequency (VSCF) generator system is provided and includes a generator portion, a first cooling circuit and a second cooling circuit. The generator portion includes a generator, electronics configured to control operations of the generator and a housing to house the generator and the electronics. The first cooling circuit is provided such that first fluid exiting the generator passes through a first cooling element prior to returning to the generator. The second cooling circuit is provided such that second fluid exiting the electronics passes through a second cooling element prior to being pumped back toward the electronics.
