Speed Control of DC Motor Regulator Systems A regulator system is one which normally provides output power in its steady-state operation
For example, a motor speed regulator maintains the motor speed at a constant value despite variations in load torque
Even if the load torque is removed ,the motor must provide sufficient torque to overcome the viscous friction effect of the bearings
Other forms of regulator also provide output power; A temperature regulator must maintain the temperature of, say, an oven constant despite the heat loss in the oven
A voltage regulator must also maintain must output voltage constant despite variation in the load current
For any system to provide an output, e
, speed, temperature, voltage, etc, an error signal must exist under steady-state conditions
