Exam Question

In a.c. generators, voltage dip occurs in two stages. (a) (i) Sketch a voltage-time graph showing the pattern of voltage dip. (ii) Referring to this graph, state with reasons the effect on the electrical system of a small power installation when a large load is suddenly switched (b) Explain EACH of the following categories of voltage control: (i) Error operated; (ii) Functional.

Reference Answer

### (a) Generator Voltage Dip
#### (i) Voltage-Time Graph
A sketch is required to illustrate the dynamic response of the generator's terminal voltage when a large inductive load is suddenly applied. The graph plots Terminal Voltage (V) on the Y-axis against Time (t) on the X-axis.
**Key Features of the Graph:**
