Slump slower than the 55 Hz frequency cornering of a voltage regulator and voltage drops.
If the generator is under load, field forcing ensues. This can blow a regulator to high heaven.
My Kubota has an incredibly expensive Delco H9000 voltage regulator that can withstand field forcing. But I have a 2.5 amp fast blow fuse in circuit to prevent this.
Big gensets have regulators that power an alternator that does only one thing -- make rectified power for the field of the main generator. Two stage process. Wish this critter had an inverter generator system sometimes. But 1,200 RPM inverter generators are merely a pipe dream.
