A power limiting system for multiple electric motors (116 - 120) includes an electrical power generating component, such as an alternator, and a plurality of motor controllers (121 - 125) connected to an electrical bus (105). Each motor controller (121 - 125) compares the voltage on the bus (105) to a specified minimum voltage and a specified maximum voltage, and reduces its electric power output if the voltage on the bus (105) is less than the maximum voltage while continuing to operate the electric motors (116 - 120).
