GLOSSARY - CONT
STABILITY
-
A condition which describes engines governor and generator voltage
regulator. These systems provide frequency and voltage stability if
they can maintain or quickly re-establish steady-state regulation after a
load change.
STATOR
-
The stationary part of a generator or exciter.
SURGE SUPPRESSOR
-
A device capable of conducting current in either direction in the
presence of high transient voltages, thus protecting devices that could
otherwise be damaged.
VARISTOR
-
A surge suppressor.
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
-
A device which controls the voltage output of a generator at a preset
value regardless of the amount of load applied (see Firing Circuit).
-
An instrument designed to measure electrical potential or voltage.
