The voltage appearing across a load is always smaller than the no-load voltage of any voltage source -e.g. batteries, generators, or Transformers. In simple terms this is because all these voltage sources have internal resistance or impedance which results in an internal voltage drop when the source delivers a load current. The resulting voltage, therefore, is always the difference between the no-load voltage and the internal voltage drop. A measure of the difference between a source's no-load and full-load voltage is termed its 'voltage regulation'.

What are the output voltage and current of a transformer determined by?

The secondary (output) voltage is determined by the primary voltage and the turns ratio of the transformer. The secondary current is determined by the secondary voltage and the load resistance.


What is the voltage regulation of an ideal transformer?

Ideally the voltage regulation voltage of a transformer should be zero. It means when you change the load from no load to short circuit (theoretically, normally you don't want to burn the transformer windings) the output voltage doesn't change and remains equal to the no load voltage.


In a 3-phase high voltage star-star connection 140KVA transformer and load phase voltage is 115v and frequency is 400hz what is the total load current?

Maximum load current on a 140KVA, three phase transformer when the output voltage is 115 v phase to phase is: 140kva / sqrt (3) / 115 = 703 Amps. frequency does not matter here.


What does inductive load effect on High Voltage transmission line?

the inductive load which is generally use in high voltage transmission line known as transformer. the transformer transform the high voltage to low voltage.


How do you calculate input voltage of a transformer given both side high and low side impedances and also load with power factor?

The input voltage (primary) and output (secondary) of a transformer is determined by the manufacturer. Transformers are bought to accommodate the voltage that is needed on the primary side and to what voltage is needed on the secondary side.

What is the load side of a transformer?

The load side of a transformer feeds the device, such as a light or motor. It is the output of the transformer. The input, or line side, provides the voltage that is to be transformed, either up or down, to supply the load side.AnswerA transformer's primary winding is connected to the supply voltage, and the secondary winding is connected to the load.


Why during loading the voltage get decreased at output?

Output voltage (...of a transformer, for example...) will decrease as it is loaded because of the transformer's internal resistance. As output current increases/load resistance decreases, a larger voltage will be dropped across the internal transformer resistance. This same phenomenon is present in AC and DC systems (such as batteries).


What do you mean by no load of transformer?

Transformers voltage ratings are typically at full load. For instance, A 24 VAC, 10A transformer will have a terminal voltage of 24 when it is feeding 10 amps to a load. Since the transformer windings have some resistance, the transformer designer has to wind the transformer to put out more than 24 volts, since some of the voltage will be lost, dropped across the resistance of the secondary windings. But, according to Ohm's law, the voltage dropped across a resistance is proportional to the current (E=IR). If we take away the 10A load, there is no current, and therefore no winding voltage drop! The excess voltage the designer built in now appears at the terminals. This is the no-load voltage. In my example above, when we remove the 10A load, the output voltage of the transformer might rise to 26.4V. We would say the no-load voltage of that transformer is 26.4V The ratio of full-load voltage to no-load voltage is called the transformer's "regulation factor". It is calculated as: (no-load voltage - full-load voltage) / full-load voltage * 100. Ours is: ((26.4 - 24) / 24) * 100 = 10%.


Why might the unloaded output voltage of a transformer be higher than its rms of 12.6v?

Because the windings of transformers have resistance, the primary and secondary currents will cause voltage drops. To compensate for the drops, the transformer may have been designed to have a higher than specified output voltage when there is little or no output current. The no load output voltage typically is only slightly greater than the specified voltage. Before measuring the output voltage, measure the input (line) voltage. If it is not as specified for the transformer, calculate its effect on the output.


What is the angle between no load current and the applied voltage in an ideal transformer?

A: Transformer by itself goes not alter the phases the output can be in phase or out of phase depending how you look at it.

The transformer should provide 144-0-144 v to have a no-load voltage of 500 v dc in a voltage-doubler using two diodes.


How does the load affect voltage output of a series generator?

In a series generator, the voltage output is directly affected by the load. As the load increases, the voltage output decreases due to increased voltage drops across the internal resistance of the generator. Conversely, reducing the load will result in an increase in the voltage output.


What do you understand by regulation in a transformer?

Regulation of transformer means percentage reduction of transformer secondary voltage due to transformer loading as compared to its no load voltage.Another AnswerA transformer's voltage regulation is defined as 'the change in its secondary voltage, from no-load to full-load, at a specified power factor, expressed as a percentage of its full-load voltage, with the primary supply voltage held constant'.


No-load and full load transformer?

A: a transformer will follow the rule of input output ratio with no load. As soon as a load is applied there will be changes in the ratio
