Question 195Electricity & Electronics - QMED

The correct answer is A) governor control. The governor control is used to adjust the kilowatt load sharing between paralleled generators. The governor controls the engine speed, which in turn adjusts the generator's output frequency and voltage. By adjusting the governor, the load can be balanced between the paralleled generators to ensure equal sharing of the total electrical load. The other options are incorrect because: B) a hand tachometer is used to measure engine speed, not to adjust load sharing; C) automatic voltage regulators control the generator's output voltage, but not the load sharing; and D) a field rheostat is used to adjust the generator's field current, not the load sharing between paralleled generators.
