Power system having short circuit protection controller

A system for controlling an electrical power generator that supplies electrical power to at least one load, the system comprising:

• one or more memories including instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive current signals and voltage signals representative of currents and voltages output from the electrical power generator;
• compare the current and voltage signals to a predetermined map;
• determine whether a short circuit exists inside the electrical power generator based on the comparison;
• and
• send a command to turn off the electrical power generator when the short circuit exists inside the electrical power generator.

A computer-implemented method of controlling an electrical power generator that supplies electrical power to at least one load, the method comprising:

• receiving current signals and voltage signals representative of currents and voltages output from the electrical power generator;
• comparing the currents and the voltages to a predetermined map;
• determining whether a short circuit exists inside the electrical power generator, based on the comparison;
• and
• sending a command to turn off the electrical power generator when the short circuit exists inside the electrical power generator.
