    Voltage Regulation in Transformer

    The voltage regulation of a transformer is the percentage difference between its no-load voltage and full-load voltage relative to the full-load voltage. It occurs because the full load draws current that causes a voltage drop in the transformer due to its internal impedance. The voltage regulation can be expressed as the percentage of the voltage drop divided by the full load voltage. It is affected by both the load power factor (lagging or leading) and the transformer's resistance and reactance.

    VOLTAGE REGULATION IN TRANSFORMER

    MEANING OF VOLTAGE REGULATION


    The voltage regulation is the percentage of voltage difference between no load and full load
    voltages of a transformer with respect to its full load voltage.

    EXPLANATION OF VOLTAGE REGULATION OF TRANSFORMER


    Say an electrical power transformer is open circuited, means load is not connected with
    secondary terminals. In this situation, the secondary terminal voltage of the transformer will
    be its secondary induced emf E2 . Whenever full load is connected to the secondary terminals
    of the transformer, rated current I2 flows through the secondary circuit and voltage drop
    comes into picture. At this situation, primary winding will also draw equivalent full load current
    from source. The voltage drop in the secondary is I2Z2 where Z2 is the secondary impedence of
    transformer. Now if at this loading condition, any one measures the voltage between
    secondary terminals, he or she will get voltage V2 across load terminals which is obviously less
    than no load secondary voltage E2 and this is because of I12Z2 voltage drop in transformer.

    EXPRESSION OF VOLTAGE REGULATION OF TRANSFORMER


    Expression of voltage regulation of transformer, represented in percentage, is

    Voltage regulation(%) = [(E2 – V2)/V2]X100%


    VOLTAGE REGULATION OF TRANSFORMER FOR LAGGING POWER
    FACTOR
    Now we will derive the expression of voltage regulation in detail. Say lagging power factor of
    the load is cosƟ2, that means angle between secondary current and voltage is Ɵ2
    Here from the above diagram,

    OC = OA + AB + BC

    Here, AB = AE COS Ɵ2 = I2R2COS Ɵ2


    And, BC = DE SIN Ɵ2 = I2X2 SIN Ɵ2
    Angle between OC and OD may be very small, so it can be neglected and OD is considered
    nearly equal to OC i.e.

    E2 = OC = OA + AB +BC
    E2 = OC = V2 + I2R2 COS Ɵ2 + I2X2 SIN Ɵ2
    Voltage regulation of transformer at lagging power factor,

    Voltage regulation(%) = [(E2 – V2)/V2]X100%


    = [(I2R2 COS Ɵ2 + I2X2 SIN Ɵ2)/ v2]x100%
    VOLTAGE REGULATION OF TRANSFORMER FOR LEADING POWER
    FACTOR
    Let’s derive the expression of voltage regulation with leading current, say leading power factor
    of the load is cos Ɵ2, that means angle between secondary current and voltage is Ɵ2.

    Here, from the above diagram,

    OC = OA + AB – BC
    Here, OA = V2
    Here, AB = AE COS Ɵ2 = I2R2 COS Ɵ2
    and, BC = DE SIN Ɵ2 = I2X2 SIN Ɵ2
    Angle between OC and OD may be very small, so it can be neglected and OD is considered
    nearly equal to OC i.e.

    E2 = OC = OA + AB – BC
    E2 = OC = V2 + I2R2 COS Ɵ2 – I2X2 SIN Ɵ2
    Voltage regulation of transformer at leading power factor,

    Voltage regulation(%) = [(E2 – V2)/V2]X100%


    = [(I2R2 COS Ɵ2 – I2X2 SIN Ɵ2)/v2]x100%
