A three phase alternator uses two main methods to regulate voltage output as load and speed change. The ZPF (zero power factor) method regulates voltage by varying the field current to maintain a constant power factor of zero between the generator's output and input. The ASA (automatic voltage regulator) method uses feedback from the output voltage to control the field current automatically and maintain a constant output voltage regardless of load or speed changes.
