This is as close as you get. I have translated it as "flywheel governor" which is a real engine component, why this should be electric I have no idea. Unless it is a new application I am not aware of. Your text imply the application as being very important: emergency. Decided a level of confidence: LOW. I would also ask author. Sometime you get some real surprises.
