The PT6 in "my" Meridian is thremodynamically capable of 1050hp, but is de-rated to 500hp. That means that an electronic governor will prevent the engine from putting out more than 500hp. There is an override lever on the throttle quadrant that would allow me to bypass the governor and, theoretically, get the whole 1050hp, but that would probably exceed temp and torque limits.
