Abstract

A propulsion system for an aircraft includes a propulsor, an engine, an electrical assembly, and a control unit. The engine includes a rotational assembly. The rotational assembly is coupled to the propulsor. The electrical assembly includes an electric motor, an electrical distribution system, and an electrical current sensor. The electric motor is coupled to the propulsor. The electric motor is electrically connected to the electrical distribution system. The electrical current sensor is configured to measure an electrical current supplied to the electric motor by the electrical distribution system. The control unit is configured to identify a power lever angle of a power throttle for the propulsion system is greater than or less than a power threshold, identify the electrical current is greater than or less than an electrical current threshold in response to identifying the power lever angle is less than the power threshold, and disable the electric motor in response to identifying the electrical current is greater than the electrical current threshold.
