Abstract
A control arrangement for preventing overloading of a prime mover which drives a pump comprises a pair of hydraulically operating adjusting units operative for adjusting the volume of fluid discharged by the pump. The arrangement further comprises a negative-feedback stabilizing circuit connected to the adjusting units and to a multi-setting regulating valve. The stabilizing circuit is operative for causing the valve to regulate the operation of the pump by controlling the operation of the adjusting units in dependence upon the output pressure of the pump. In order to protect the prime mover when the loading thereof has reached a predetermined value, an overload signal is generated which actuates an over-ride device. The override device is operative in response to the overload signal to cause the valve to assume a setting such that the adjusting units decrease the quantity of fluid discharged by the pump so as to unload the prime mover.
