Voltage Regulation
Report by : Gigi Bartolare

Voltage regulation of a transformer
• The percentage change in the output voltage from no-load to full-load
• When the transformer is loaded with constant primary voltage, the secondary
voltage decreases of its internal resistance and leakage reactance.
• Primary voltage was supposed to be kept constant and the changes in
secondary terminal voltage were considered.

• The primary voltage of the transformer is always greater than the emf induces on
the primary side.
• Secondary terminal voltage at no-load is always greater than the voltage at full-
load condition
Mathematically the voltage regulation is represented as:
𝑉𝑁𝐿 − 𝑉𝐹𝐿
%𝑉𝑅 = × 100
𝑉𝐹𝐿
Or
𝐸2 − 𝑉2
%𝑉𝑅 = × 100
𝐸2
𝐸2 = secondary terminal voltage at no-load

𝑉2 = secondary terminal voltage at full-load
