Calculate Percent Overshoot



Formula

The formula to calculate the Percent Overshoot is:

\[ \text{PO} = \left( \frac{\text{MV} - \text{SV}}{\text{SV}} \right) \times 100 \]

What is Percent Overshoot?

Percent Overshoot is a measure used in control systems and signal processing to quantify how much a system exceeds its target value. It is calculated by subtracting the step value from the maximum value, dividing by the step value, and then multiplying by 100. A lower percent overshoot indicates a more stable system.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the Percent Overshoot:

\[ \text{PO} = \left( \frac{120 - 100}{100} \right) \times 100 = 20 \% \]

This means that the percent overshoot for this scenario is 20%.
