Input power

2. a) Percentage Regulation (up) = OV2-V2 100

V2

b) Percentage regulation (down) = OV2-V2 100

OV2

Where:
OV2  No load secondary voltage
V2  Secondary voltage at different load

Procedure:
1. Make the panel board connections as per the circuit diagram keeping all the switches open.
2. PRECAUTIONS:
a. Keep the autotransformer in minimum output position
b. Avoid more than one connection at a terminal of a meter.
3. DPST switch is closed and the supply is switched on at the no load condition.
4. The autotransformer is adjusted to set the rated primary voltage.
5. The no load condition the voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter readings are taken and
tabulated.
6. Now the load is increased in steps and the corresponding change in voltmeter, ammeter
and wattmeter readings are taken and tabulated up to the rated condition. (Primary voltage
is constant)
7. The load is reduced in steps, set the Auto transformer in the initial position and the supply
is switched OFF.
8. The efficiency and regulation at various loads are calculated and the corresponding graphs
are plotted.
