Claim 5:
6. A system comprising:
a generator control unit (GCU) including:
a saturable reactor; and
a rectifier, wherein each of the saturable reactor and the rectifier has a separate input to receive AC power from a separate respective permanent magnet generator (PMG), wherein the GCU further comprises a reactor controller operatively connected to receive DC power output from the saturable reactor, wherein the reactor controller is configured and operatively connected to output a control signal to the saturable reactor to control the saturable reactor, wherein the reactor controller is configured to increase a feedback signal to the saturable reactor to oppose flux in the saturable reactor core if output from the saturable reactor exceeds a setpoint, and to decrease the feedback signal if output of the saturable reactor goes below the setpoint.
