Abstract
A voltage regulator for an engine powered generator having a sampling system to sample an operating frequency of an alternating current at an electrical output of the generator. A detection system is configured to monitor the operating frequency of the generator. An excitation system is configured to alter either an excitation voltage or an excitation current of a field winding of an alternator of the engine when the operating frequency of the generator indicates a load impact at the electrical output of the generator. The excitation system then controls the excitation voltage or the excitation current as necessary to minimize the variation in the operating frequency in response to the load impact.
