Claim 6:
7. 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);

a generator, the generator and GCU being federated from one another, the generator including:
a first permanent magnet generator (PMG) operatively connected to provide AC power to the saturable reactor; and
a second PMG operatively connected to provide AC power to the rectifier, wherein the generator further comprises an exciter operatively connected to receive DC exciter current from the GCU, wherein the exciter is configured to output AC power, wherein the generator further comprises a rotating rectifier operatively connected to receive the AC power from the exciter, wherein the rotating rectifier is configured to output DC power, wherein the generator further comprises a main machine operatively connected to receive the DC power from the rotating rectifier, wherein the main machine is configured to output AC power to a generator load.
