🔍 Key Concepts

• governor functions on diesel or marine engines • difference between controlling speed/RPM and controlling load/torque • how an engine is protected from overloading at low RPM

💭 Think About

• Which type of governor’s main job is to keep the engine from producing more torque than it safely can at a given RPM, rather than just holding a set speed? • Look at the word in each option: which ones refer to controlling speed, and which one refers specifically to controlling the load or torque on the engine? • If the propeller load suddenly increases, which governor type is designed to prevent the engine from bogging down and overloading?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options are clearly about speed control only (maintaining or limiting RPM). • Identify which option directly mentions load and think about how load relates to torque. • Before choosing, be sure you can say in your own words: "This device limits how much torque/load the engine can produce at each speed."
