Which one of the following is the most likely reason for large overshoot in a control system

  • A. High gain in a system
  • B. Presence of dead time delay in a system
  • C. High positive correcting torque
  • D. High retarding torque

Answer: C. High positive correcting torque

Explanation: A high positive correcting torque relative to damping (retarding torque) accelerates the system too rapidly, causing the output to overshoot the setpoint before it can be decelerated.
