Abstract

When load is suddenly removed from an a-c generator, the terminal voltage will rise to some maximum value. The magnitude of this overvoltage is a function of several factors such as the amount of load removed, power factor of the load, regulator time delay, exciter response, and the pertinent constants of the a-c generator. This paper presents an analytical study of the influence of these factors on the magnitude of the maximum overvoltage.
