Abstract :
THE RECENTLY issued specification on Prime Mover Speed Governing for steam turbines intended to drive electric generators, rated 500 kw and up, includes definitions and descriptions of terms relating to governor functions and standards of performance. This article is intended to show the application of the terms and definitions to modern speed-governing systems and to indicate how the systems meet or can be made to meet the requirements of the performance specifications.
