The invention discloses a starting device of a brushless doubly-fed machine, and relates to the technical field of brushless doubly-fed machines. The direct-current output of a frequency converter is disconnected, and then switch tubes VT1, VT3, VT5 of an upper bridge arm and switch tubes VT2, VT4, VT6 of a lower bridge arm of a three-phase full bridge inversion circuit VI are disconnected at the same time, so that a brake resistor R0 is connected to a control winding PC, resources of the frequency converter can be sufficiently utilized, namely a starting resistor does not need to be used, the control winding PC can be in short connection by controlling full-controlled switch tube devices of the inversion circuit through software, the volume of the equipment can be reduced, and the cost is reduced.
