Abstract

Generating systems are operable in a starting mode to provide motive power to a prime mover to bring it up to a self-sustaining condition. However, a malfunction in a component connected between the generating system and the prime mover or in the prime mover itself may cause a potentially damaging condition to arise. In order to overcome this problem, a system for detecting, for example, the failure of a prime mover to achieve a self-sustaining condition continuously senses speed and acceleration of the prime mover, determines a minimum acceleration during a particular speed range, compares the minimum acceleration to prime mover acceleration at a point outside of the speed range and develops a signal to indicate no ignition if the minimum acceleration is greater than the acceleration at the point outside of the speed range.
