what is automatic voltage regulator and it is used?

Answer Posted / satish babu

AS the name itself indicates it is a device which maintains
the required output terminal voltage & hence called as
Automatic voltage regulator,
a) In case of alternators the Terminal Voltage(TV) is ref.
& whenever the TV tend to fall due to load the drop is
immediately sensed & excitation is increased thereby the
required voltage is maintained in the output terminals.

b) In case of transformer the PT output is the ref. As the
voltage drops due to load an immediate signal is given to
Tap changer motor (raise/lower)which varies the tap
position in the transformer thereby achieving the required
Terminal voltage.

In Both these equipments AVRs are used,which is an
electronic device which has an inbuilt comparator &
regulator.

In our factory so many iron pillors are exists for supporting the shed/Hangar. If do more no of earthings at one piller instead of doing more earth pits in many locations and running earth strip around the hanger, I can save the money. Please suggest this method is acceptable as per Is specifications though the Earth resitance of the farthest piller is with in the limits as per IS specifications.

Is there a possibility to use such a treshold voltage for the NMOS part of a CMOS circuit that during the switching it will start conducting only after the PMOS part will be already closed, by this eliminating the leakedge current? Please note, I'm not asking about the well bias in standby mode, but about the "antileakedge" measures during normal operation.
