Detailed Analysis of the Core Electrical Control and Power Components of Diesel Generator Sets (Part 2)
1. Three Components of the Speed Regulation System: Speed Sensor, Speed Control Board, Actuator (Core of Speed/Frequency Control)
Detailed Breakdown of the Functions of Core Electrical Control and Power Components of Diesel Generator Sets (Part 1)

2. Speed Control Board (Electronic Speed Controller/Governor Board)
Equivalent to the control brain of the unit's rotational speed
- Receives two signals: real-time speed from the speed sensor, external start/stop or speed control commands;
- Logic operation: compares the current speed with the rated speed (1500 rpm/50 Hz, 1800 rpm/60 Hz);
- If the speed is too low: outputs a signal to drive the actuator to increase throttle;
- If the speed is too high: outputs a signal to reduce throttle;
- Additional functions: idle switching, soft start with gradual acceleration, deceleration shutdown protection, droop (active power sharing when paralleling);
- Supporting adjustments: panel potentiometers can fine-tune no-load speed, gain, and stability;

- Fault Symptoms: Severe speed fluctuations, unstable frequency, serious frequency drop under load, and uncontrolled shutdown.
