Voltage regulation of a dc generator is defined as

  • A.the change in speed from no load to full load of the prime mover
  • B.the no-load voltage less the full-load voltage, as a fraction of full load
  • C.the difference between the generated emf and the terminal voltage at no load
  • D.the ratio of the full-load current to the no-load current of the machine

Answer: B

Correct answer: the no-load voltage less the full-load voltage, as a fraction of full load

Voltage regulation is defined as

\[ \text{regulation} = \frac{V_{nl} - V_{fl}}{V_{fl}} \]

usually expressed as a percentage. A small figure means the terminal voltage holds up well as load is applied, which is what a lighting or battery-charging load wants. A cumulatively compounded machine can be arranged to give zero or even negative regulation, its voltage rising with load to compensate for the drop in the feeder.
