Which of the listed actions will occur when there is an increase in load on a ship service generator equipped with a centrifugal type hydraulic governor? Illustration SE-0009

Correct Answer: Option B — More oil will enter the operating cylinder (O).

An electrical load increase causes the turbine to momentarily slow, drawing governor weights inward. This action repositions the pilot valve, allowing high-pressure control oil to enter operating cylinder (O), forcing the piston to admit more steam.
