This document summarizes an engineering student's project on automatic voltage control. It discusses the need for automatic voltage regulators to maintain constant voltage levels, as utility voltages can fluctuate by up to 13% from nominal levels. It also describes how voltage drops within facilities drive voltages even lower. Precise voltage regulation is important because electrical equipment operates best within a narrow voltage range and fluctuations can cause equipment malfunction or damage. The document outlines different categories of voltage regulators, including their design and whether they regulate AC or DC voltages.
