    Transformer voltage regulation is a measure of how much the output voltage of a transformer changes with varying load. It is calculated as the percentage change between the no-load and full-load output voltages. A lower voltage regulation is preferable. Autotransformers can be used to change voltages by small amounts more efficiently than standard transformers by using a single winding with a tapping to provide voltages added or subtracted. This allows increasing a voltage a small amount, like from 110V to 120V, without needing two fully-rated windings.

    Transformer

    Transformer voltage regulation


    Reason Of Use
    • Because a real transformer has series
    impedences within it,output voltage of
    transformer vary with load even if input
    voltage remain constant.To compare
    transformers in this respect,it is necessary to
    define a quantity called voltage regulation.
    Definition
    • Voltage regulation is a quantity that compare
    output voltage of transformer at no load with
    output voltage at full load.
    • V.R=(Vs,no load-Vs,full load)/Vs,full load*100%
    • Usually it is a good practice to have as small a
    voltage regulation as possible .for ideal
    transformer,VR=0%
    AUTO TRANSFORMER
    • On some occassions,it is desirable to change
    voltage levels by only a small amount.
    • For example,it may be necessary to increase a
    voltage from 110 to 120 volts.these small rises
    may be made necessary by voltage drops that
    occur in power systems a long way from
    generators.
    continued
    • In such situations,it is wasteful & extensively
    expensive to wind a transformer with 2 full
    windings,each rated at about same voltage.
    • A special purpose transformer called auto
    transformer is use.
    Circuit diagram of auto transformer
    Explanation
    • First winding is shown connected in additive
    manner to second winding.
    • Voltage at output of whole transformer is sum
    of voltage on first winding & voltage on
    second winding.
    • First winding is called common winding.
    • Smaller winding is called series winding.
    Explanation
    • Unlike the previous voltage transformer which has
    two electrically isolated windings called: the primary
    and the secondary, an Autotransformer has only
    one single voltage winding which is common to both
    sides. This single winding is “tapped” at various
    points along its length to provide a percentage of
    the primary voltage supply across its secondary
    load. Then the autotransformer has the usual
    magnetic core but only has one winding, which is
    common to both the primary and secondary circuits.
    continued
    • When the primary current IP is flowing
    through the single winding in the direction of
    the arrow as shown, the secondary current, IS,
    flows in the opposite direction. Therefore, in
    the portion of the winding that generates the
    secondary voltage, VS the current flowing out
    of the winding is the difference of IP and IS.
