Voltage Regulation of Single-Phase Transformer

This lab report details an experiment conducted to study the voltage regulation of a single-phase transformer under resistive load conditions. The objectives include determining voltage regulation, analyzing secondary voltage changes, and understanding the impact of resistive loading on performance. Results show that as the load increased, the secondary voltage decreased and voltage regulation increased, indicating the transformer's efficiency, especially at higher loads.

1. Experiment No: 06
2. Experiment Name: Study of voltage regulation of a single-phase transformer with
resistive load.

3. Objectives:

• To determine the voltage regulation of a single-phase transformer under varying


resistive load conditions.

• To analyze how the secondary voltage changes from no-load to full-load conditions.

• To understand the impact of resistive loading on transformer performance.

4. Learning Outcomes:
Upon completing this experiment, we will be able to:

i. Define and calculate the percentage voltage regulation of a transformer.

ii. Understand the relationship between load conditions and secondary voltage varia-
tions.

iii. Interpret the significance of voltage regulation in transformer efficiency and perfor-
mance.

5. Theory:
Voltage regulation of a transformer is a measure of the change in secondary voltage from
no-load to full-load conditions, expressed as a percentage of the full-load voltage. It
indicates the ability of the transformer to maintain a constant secondary voltage under
varying load conditions. The formula for percentage voltage regulation is:
 
Vno-load − Vfull-load
%Regulation = × 100%
Vfull-load
In a resistive load scenario, the power factor is unity (cos ϕ = 1), and the voltage drop is
primarily due to the internal resistance of the transformer windings.

6. Apparatus:
Sl No Apparatus Name Range Quantity
1 Single-phase transformer (0–380) VA 1
2 Variable AC supply (0–270) V 1
3 AC Voltmeter (0–300) V 2
4 Variable resistive load — 1
5 Connecting wires As required —

8. Procedure:
1. Connected the primary winding of the transformer to the variac output.
2. Ensured that the secondary winding is connected to the variable resistive load
through appropriate measuring instruments.
3. With no-load connected to the secondary, recorded the no-load secondary voltage
Vno-load .
4. Gradually applied the resistive load in steps and recorded the secondary voltage
Vfull-load .
5. Calculated the percentage voltage regulation for each load step using the formula
provided.

9. Data Table:
V2 (No-load) V2 (Loaded) % Regulation
76.51 76.15 0.47
76.51 76.03 0.63
76.51 75.93 0.76
76.51 75.78 0.96
76.51 75.57 1.24
76.51 75.40 1.47
76.51 75.18 1.76

10. Reports:
1. The secondary voltage decreased as the load increased, indicating a voltage drop
due to the internal resistance of the transformer.
2. As the secondary voltage decreased, the voltage regulation increased.
3. The transformer performed well in terms of efficiency, particularly at higher loads
(75%–100%).
