Abstract
An electronic governor, particularly for a diesel engine has a summing amplifier receiving signals representing the output of the pumps supplying fuel to the engine, engine speed, and engine demand. The summing amplifier serves to produce an output for operating the pump in accordance with predetermined engine current characteristics. A second summing amplifier may be used to override the first summing amplifier to limit maximum fuel. Alternatively, the first summing amplifier may compare demanded fuel supply with actual fuel supply, in which case the second amplifier sets the maximum speed.
