First Claim
Patent Images
1. A protection system for a work machine having a power source, comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to monitor a fluid parameter of a work machine system external to the power source, and to produce a signal indicative of a value of the fluid parameter;
a control module in communication with the at least one sensor, the control module being configured to selectively derate a power source output based upon the value of the fluid parameter.

Abstract
A protection system is provided for a work machine with a power source. At least one sensor is configured to monitor a fluid parameter of a work machine system external to the power source. The sensor is further configured to produce a signal indicative of a value of the fluid parameter. The component protection system has a control module in communication with the at least one sensor, the control module being configured to derate a power source output base upon the value of the fluid parameter.
