Which term represents the change in speed required before a speed control governor will initiate corrective action as the load changes?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Speed governor control characteristics on engines and turbines • Difference between when a governor starts to react vs how quickly it reacts • Meaning of “no correction zone” in control systems

💭 Think About

• Which of these terms is associated with a range of speed where the governor does not yet take correcting action? • Which term refers to how much the speed has to change before the governor notices, not how fast it corrects or how much power is available? • Look at each option and ask: does this describe a threshold/range, a time response, or an energy capability?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each word to its control-system definition: Power, Sensitivity, Promptness, Deadband • Identify which term is commonly defined as a zone or band of no corrective action around the desired setpoint • Eliminate any choice that mainly describes how fast the governor responds rather than how much change is needed before it responds
