Abstract:
A wind turbine generator controller is described. The controller comprises switching circuitry, for selectively activating and deactivating one or more transducer circuits, and overcurrent detection circuitry, for detecting an overcurrent state in relation to one or more of the transducer circuits. The switching circuitry is responsive to the detection on an overcurrent state to selectively deactivate one or more of the transducer circuits.
