Which outcome arises when a PID loop's integral gain is excessively increased when regulating an electric motor's speed?

A)Overshoot and oscillatory behavior
B)Decreased steady-state error
C)Reduced settling time
D)Increased damping of oscillations

💡 Explanation

When the integral gain is too high, the PID controller overcompensates for small errors driving the motor past the desired speed, initiating a repeated overshoot and correction cycle, hence oscillatory behavior. Therefore, overshoot results, rather than decreased error, settling time reduction or increased damping which require different gain changes.
