Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #807 (Set 27)

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%?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — It will increase.

Removing electrical load from a turbine generator allows the governor to reduce steam admission, causing the operating frequency to rise toward the no-load speed determined by the 3% governor speed droop characteristic curve.
