The KG is not driven by the battery or the generator, It is mechanical in the BMW801 series and hydraulic in the Jumo 213 series. It uses the mags and is not affected by a loss of systems electrical power to advance the timing.

The VDM propeller only uses electrical power for emergency operation which the KG does not control. In normal operation it is a hydraulic governor and is a normal CSP.
