The frequency of voltage generated, in case of generators, can be increased by___________?
Correct answer: C. adjusting the governor
- A. using reactors
- B. increasing the load
- C. adjusting the governor
- D. reducing the terminal voltage
- E. none of the above
Explanation
Generator frequency follows f = PN/120, so it increases when rotor speed is increased. The governor controls the prime-mover speed, whereas load, reactors, and terminal voltage do not directly set frequency.
