  • Abstract
    Utilizing electrically operated shutdown instrument systems on magneto powered gas engines has long required design compromises that affect reliability and safety. Utilizing magneto power to operate regulated dc power supplies, which in turn operate shutdown systems, is discussed. Using magneto driven dc power supplies, as compared to magneto energy directly, offers numerous operational and safety advantages.
