An overspeed protection control for an engine which drives at least one pump and having valve means selectively operable to cause an increase in pressure in a circuit supplied by said pump and a resulting increase in load torque on the engine. Means responsive to the engine speed exceeding a predetermined value causes operation of the valve means, and includes a control valve positionable either in response to a pressure differential across an orifice in the circuit supplied by the pump with the pressure differential being an indication of flow rate and, therefore, engine speed, or operable by a control circuit including means for detecting engine speed. |
