The general linear voltage stabilizer is specified by four independent performance parameters which are necessary and sufficient to determine its performance and an equivalent circuit of four elements is derived to represent it. Corresponding parameters for a stabilizer associated with a load are evaluated in terms of parameters of the stabilizer itself and the load resistance by means of this equivalent circuit. In the case of a stabilizer associated with a load and power supply, corresponding over‐all parameters are defined, and the general solution of the problem of expressing the over‐all performance parameters in terms of parameters of the stabilizer itself and the load and supply resistances is obtained. Prior results are based on three explicit performance parameters, and the case of the general stabilizer is tractable only by the use of a supplementary procedure to include a fourth parameter. The present results yield an analytical criterion for the case where the three‐parameter analysis applies directly and permit direct evaluation of over‐all performance parameters in the general case without reference to the internal configuration of the stabilizer. Confirmatory experimental results are presented.
