- In a transformer minimum voltage regulation occurs when the power factor of the load is leading.
- The voltage regulation of the transformer is zero at a leading power factor load such as a capacitive load.
- 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.
- The voltage regulation of the transformer is the percentage change in the output voltage from no-load to full-load. And since the power factor is a determining factor in the secondary voltage, the power factor influences voltage regulation.
- This means the voltage regulation of a transformer is a dynamic, load-dependent number.
