Question

A good transformer must have voltage regulation as high as possible
1. TRUE
2. FALSE
3. Cannot be said
4. None of these

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : FALSE

Voltage regulation is the change in secondary terminal voltage from no load to full load at a specific power factor of load and the change is expressed in percentage.

E2 = no-load secondary voltage

V2 = full load secondary voltage

Voltage regulation for the transformer is given by the ratio of change in secondary terminal voltage from no load to full load to no load secondary voltage.

Voltage regulation \(= \frac{{{E_2} - {V_2}}}{{{E_2}}}\)

For a good transformer must have voltage regulation as low as possible.
