The disclosure relates to AC-
DC converter circuits (100, 400, 600), example embodiments of which may comprise: first and second
rectifier circuits (101, 102) each having a plurality of input connections (104a-c, 110a-c) for connection to respective first and second sets of windings (105a, 105b) of a generator (106), each input connection (104a-c, 110a-c) connected between a pair of series-connected
rectifier diodes (107a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2, 111a1,a2,b1,b2,c1,c2) connected between first and second output terminals (108a,b, 112a,b), an output
capacitor (109, 113) connected between the first and second output terminals (108a,b, 112a,b); a first output
diode (114) connected between the second output terminals (108b, 112b) of the first and second
rectifier circuits (101, 102); and a first output switch (115) connected between the second output terminal (108b) of the first rectifier circuit (101) and the first output terminal (112a) of the second rectifier circuit (102).
