What statement is true concerning the term "isochronous" as it applies to prime mover speed control governors?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Meaning of isochronous in speed control (think: constant what, under changing what?) • Difference between speed droop and no droop in governors • How temporary vs permanent droop affects speed and load sharing

💭 Think About

• First, decide: in an isochronous system, does the governor try to keep speed constant or load constant as the main goal? • Next, ask yourself: if the goal is perfectly constant speed over different loads, would you want permanent droop in the final steady-state speed, or only a momentary (temporary) deviation during a change? • Look at each option and match: which combination of (speed vs load control) and (permanent vs temporary droop) best fits a governor that aims for the same speed at all loads?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition: isochronous = same time/period = same speed over full load range • Verify whether permanent speed droop means the final speed changes with load, or ends up back at the original setting • Check which options incorrectly swap the roles of speed and load — those can be eliminated first
