Question 74Electricity/Electronics - QMED70% to pass
How will the value of the output frequency change if the load is removed from a turbo- generator having a governor speed droop setting of 3%?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) It will increase.
When the load is removed from a turbo-generator with a governor speed droop setting of 3%, the output frequency will increase. This is because the speed droop setting of 3% means that the generator's speed will increase by 3% when the load is removed, which in turn will cause the output frequency to increase.
The other options are incorrect because:
A) It will not decrease by 3%, as the speed droop setting causes the frequency to increase.
B) The output frequency will not remain unchanged, as the speed droop setting will cause a change in the frequency.
D) The output frequency will not become variable, as it will increase in a predictable manner due to the speed droop setting.
