ABSTRACT:
The system is intended primarily for use in multi-engined aircraft although it has great utility in any installation having an engine and a generator driven thereby. A kit for each engine includes a generator drive train connected to the engine to be driven thereby, a driving formation for connection to a generator, and a coupling or clutch in the drive train to decouple the generator in case of mechanical or electrical failure. Signal means may be located in the cockpit in the pilot's field of view to indicate generator failure. A switch operable by the pilot in response to the failure signal acts to remotely cause decoupling of the generator. The active signal operates means to deactivate any other decoupling switch to prevent mistakenly decoupling a properly functioning generator. Cross-connection switch means are connected to all engines and generators and may be actuated to electrically connect an active generator to the engine having the decoupled generator.
