AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE CONTROL [Film Technology]




AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE CONTROL
[Film Technology]

[In generator] Automatic voltage regulation(AVR) ensures that variations in the power drawn from a supply do not cause changes in the supply voltage. Without such control, increasing power loads can cause the line voltage to fall; or to rise rapidly (surge) when an appreciable load is removed- possibly burning out(blowing) remaining lamps. Unregulated power sources are load conscious, their voltage dropping as power consumption increases (this results in progressively lower light out-put from each lamp, and falling colour temperature). Great care is needed when load shedding (switching off) as voltage can suddenly rise and burn out any lamps remaining lit (mechanical governors on generators or automatic voltage control can alleviate this problem).
