Discuss an induction voltage regulator.
What will be an ideal response?
A nearly constant voltage can be maintained on long distribution circuits by compensating for the voltage losses due to varying load conditions. An almost constant voltage can be maintained at the load center of the distribution circuit. In this case, an induction voltage regulator is used to compensate for the resistive and reactive voltage drops in the line wires.
The primary winding of a single-phase induction voltage regulator is wound in the slots of a laminated rotor core. The rotor can be turned through an angle of 180°. A small motor and a worm gear mechanism drive the rotor. The stationary secondary winding is placed in the slots of a laminated stator core.
