            In the paper the self-excitation of synchronous generator based on buck converter input filter capacitor discharge through excitation winding is described. The converter is connected to the stator outputs through uncontrollable diode rectifier, but excitation winding is used as a load. Input filter capacitor of the converter provides initial current impulse which magnetizes excitation system and produces the generator voltage increasing, for this reason the capacitor is charged before self-excitation process starts.
