A power distribution system according to claim 1 wherein each reverse blocking means comprises a string of one or more seriesconnected power semiconductor devices e.g.diodes 30a 30b that provide a reverse blocking action.

The underlying idea of the present invention is to connect one or more rectifiers directly to each generator.Thus the rectifiers are considered a part of the generator system.This arrangement obviates the need for an AC main switchboard which as mentioned earlier is a high cost element.Instead the present invention uses a DC distribution bus DC direct current which will be a part of the converter system anyway.Further since the rectifier is directly connected to the generator no synchronization in startup is needed and a fast connection of additional generators is possible in case of higher power requirement.As the output from each generator system is a DC current the need for a fixed frequency output on the internal AC output of the generator is surplus.Hence at low load conditions the speed revolutions per minute of the prime mover may be reduced in order to save fuel cost.
