  • FAST POR TRIM CORRECTION
    Publication number: 20220216815
    Abstract: A system comprises a generator control unit (GCU) configured to control a generator. The system includes a first sensor connected to provide feedback to the GCU for generator control. The first sensor is configured to connect to sense at least one of voltage and/or current in a feeder connecting between the generator and a load. The system also includes a second sensor connected to provide feedback to the GCU for generator control. The second sensor is configured to sense at least one of voltage and/or current in a feeder connecting between the generator and the load. The first and second sensors are configured to connect to the feeder apart from one another with feeder impedance therebetween.
