Q

Governor hunting is caused by __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Governor hunting and what it looks like in engine speed behavior • Meaning of speed droop in a governor system • Difference between over-control and under-control in a feedback system

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when a governor constantly over-corrects engine speed instead of settling at a steady RPM—what condition in the control system would cause that? • Ask yourself whether hunting is usually linked to a governor reacting too strongly or not strongly enough to speed changes. • Consider whether too much or too little droop would make the governor chase the set speed and oscillate instead of stabilizing.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of hunting: repeated oscillation of speed around the desired set point. • Review how droop affects stability versus tight speed regulation in parallel/isochronous governing systems. • Decide whether over-control or under-control is more likely to produce continuous oscillations rather than a slow, lazy correction.
