Page 25: Voltage Variations
Voltage Variations This generator set must be run at its proper speed to obtain the correct electrical power at its output. All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load is applied to it. The engine governor is designed to hold the operating speed as nearly constant as possible. When the electrical load is increased, the engine is more heavily loaded and engine speed drops slightly. -
