LABORATORY REPORT NO.: 2
VOLTAGE REGULATION AND EFFECIENCY OF A TRNASFORMER

OBJECTIVES:

1. The objective is to measure and calculate the transformer’s voltage regulation


2. To learn the concept of voltage regulation and how it works.
3. Determine the efficiency of a transformer.

MATERIALS:

Labvolt Simulator
Power Supply(120/208V)
Single-phase Transformer
Data Acquisition Interface
Resistor Load

DISCUSSION & PROCEDURE:

What is a voltage regulation?

A component's ability to regulate voltage is determined by how much the voltage changes between its
sending and receiving ends. The percentage voltage differential between the voltages at no load and full load on
distribution lines, transmission lines, and transformers is a term frequently used in electrical engineering.
When the load at a specific power factor is removed while maintaining a consistent speed and field
current, voltage regulation is defined as the change in terminal voltage expressed as a percentage of full load rated
voltage.
Any transformer must be able to keep the secondary voltage within a certain range even when the load's
size and power factor change. A transformer's ability to sustain the output voltage while the size and power factor
of the load change from no load to full load is shown by the transformer's voltage regulation.

Transformer efficiency is defined as the ratio of a transformer's output power to its input power. Transformer
efficiency, which is commonly stated as a percentage, is used to determine how much of impact transformer
losses have. The efficiency of transformers is calculated using the formula below:

Where:

η= Transformer efficiency (in%) is equal to.


Pout =transformer output power, or POUT (in W)
Pin= Transformer input power (PIN) (in W)

MEASUREMENTS & RESULTS:

Steps to simulate voltage regulation and transformer’s efficiency:

1. Get ready to prepare for the Labvolt Application first (LVVL).


2. Next, set up the workspace where you'll place the materials. Power Source, Data Acquisition Interface, Single-
Phase Transformer, and Resistive Load are required materials (Optional).
3. Join the wires coming from the power supply's voltage input (120/208V) to the data acquisition interface's
current input. The next step is to connect the additional wires to the remaining components:
4.Turn on the power supply after connecting all of the wires, check the readings for each value, and then create a
data table for it.

OBSERVATION & CONCLUSION:

I therefore conclude that the load affects the voltage regulation of a transformer. The voltage regulation
depends on the line current, power factor and two-line terminals.
Copper Losses and Core Losses such as hysteresis and eddy current losses are huge factors that affects the
efficiency of a transfer. The higher the Total Power losses, the lower output of the Power. The rating of a very
low Output and high input is very low.
