Appendix 4: Transformer regulation

The standard formula for determining the percentage regulation of a transformer at full load and at a power factor cos Ø is *

where Vx is the percentage reactance voltage at full load          VR is the percentage resistance voltage at full load          Ø is the angle of lag of the full-load current

This formula is correct for the determination of the regulation at any load differing from full load, and it is only necessary to divide Vx and VR wherever they appear in the formula by the factor given by dividing the full-load current by the current corresponding to the particular load at which the regulation ...
