A system includes a starter generator (202) configured to provide power to a first bus (216) and a first inverter (206), a second inverter (208) coupled to the first inverter (206), a first switch (210) configured to selectively couple the second inverter (208) to the first bus (216) and to a second bus (218), a second switch (212) configured to selectively couple a first motor (140) to the first bus (216) and to the second bus (218), and a controller (136). The controller (136) sets the first switch (210) to a second position and the second switch (212) to a second position, causes the second inverter (208) to convert the power from the first inverter (206) to a starting power for starting the first motor (140), causes the second inverter (208) to increase the starting power to match the power provided to the first bus (216) from the starter generator (202), and switches the second switch (212) to the first position, when the starting power matches the power from the starter generator (202).
