High reliability generator with dual drive path

摘要

A generator arrangement is provided in which the functionality of two typically separate electrical power generators are combined together into a single generator that forms part of a three-in-one combined multi-generator which has a dual drive path with a shear section that immunizes one of the generators (e.g., the permanent magnet generator) within the single combined multi-generator from a failure of another generator (e.g., the main generator) within the single combined multi-generator.
