Abstract
A control system ( ) actively limits the power drawn from a main power distribution bus ( ) by one or more electric loads ( ). The system ( ) includes circuitry ( ) for determining a maximum permissible current magnitude that may be supplied to the loads ( ) based on a signal representative of the voltage magnitude supplied to the loads ( ). Additional circuitry ( ) limits the power drawn from the main power distribution bus ( ) to the maximum permissible current magnitude from exceeding a predetermined maximum power level. As a result, the required design capacity of power generation components and the power distribution system can be reduced in size, weight, and cost.
