Claim 0:
1. 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 low voltage power supply (LVPS) operatively connected to receive DC power output from the saturable reactor, wherein the LVPS is configured to convert DC power received from the saturable reactor to a lower voltage for output, wherein the GCU further comprises a controller operatively connected to receive DC power from the LVPS, wherein the controller is configured to output a control signal for excitation of a generator.
