Abstract
A load management system is disclosed. The load management system may include a generator, a power source configured to drive the generator, a load bank configured to produce an electrical load on the generator, a chopper operatively connected to the generator and the load bank, and a chopper regulator in communication with the generator and the chopper. The chopper may be configured to modulate the electrical load of the load bank on the generator. The chopper regulator may be configured to monitor generator parameters and control the chopper based on the generator parameters.
