    Coordinate terms: governor, modulator, synchronizer
    The voltage regulator stopped working and the resulting overload destroyed the device.

    • 2021 June 15, Suzanne Rust, “A problem Silicon Valley can’t solve: Drought, quake risk”, in Los Angeles Times‎[1], Nant Capital, LLC:
      […] in part because a key county reservoir had to been[sic] drained to reduce earthquake risks highlighted by federal regulators.
  3. A very accurate clock, used by clockmakers to measure the timekeeping of each newly made clock.

      To start No. S.002 effectively with a heavy train, one opens the main regulator sufficiently to move the train off very slowly. An excess of regulator opening with the by-pass valve open can cause heavy slipping; if the worst happens, the slipping continues a little longer after the regulator is closed than on an English locomotive.
    • 2022 January 12, Benedict le Vay, “The heroes of Soham...”, in RAIL, number 948, page 42:
