Speed control unit for an aircraft generator

摘要

A speed control unit for an aircraft generator includes a continuously variable gear ratio drive device through which the generator is driven by a shaft of the engine and which is responsive to an error signal indicative of a difference between desired and sensed generator speeds. A control circuit prevents the error signal from being applied to the drive device until a predetermined speed of the generator is reached and a ramp generating circuit increases the rise time of the error signal after the generator has reached the predetermined speed.
