Improve current limiting in GunnsElectConverterOutput #87

Closed jasonlharvey closed 1 year ago

jasonlharvey commented 1 year ago

Update GunnsElectConverter output, so that when it is a current regulator that can limit output voltage, it can also limit the output current. This situation arises when the current regulator switches to voltage regulation when downstream load pulls the voltage too low, then the resulting current can exceed a maximum limit that should not be exceeded. We'll use the over-current trip setpoint as this limit, and this current limit will be applied, along with the other limiting modes, when the link is configured to enable limiting. This extra current limiting feature can be disabled by leaving the over-current trip setpoint zero.
