Voltage Regulation:
Compare the secondary voltage at no load with the secondary voltage at full load. This determines the impact of the voltage drop across the series branch.
VR = [(Vs-no load – Vs-full load)/ Vs-no load] *100% (voltage regulation down)
OR VR = [(Vs-no load – Vs-full load)/ Vs-full load] *100% (voltage regulation up)
• Vs is the secondary voltage (or V2).
• This is calculated using the voltage magnitudes, not the angle.
• Small numbers are often considered good.
• In some cases, a larger series impedance is preferred, since it will lower fault currents. But it hurt the voltage regulation.
