There is no direct connection between the load and the GG. It is
impressive how well the control system (Woodward governor on those sets)
ramped up the fuel control to bring the power turbine up to running
speed with only a tiny overshoot and then settled to constant speed.
Although slamming a 10MW motor online REALLY made the revs/frequency
drop for a short while!



It amused me at the time that the Rolls-Royce manuals referred to
allowing the engine to cool before turning it off, by "taxiing for 3
minutes."


Just good Airmanship 'y know...
