What is Voltage regulation: Definition and 23 Discussions

In electrical engineering, particularly power engineering, voltage regulation is a measure of change in the voltage magnitude between the sending and receiving end of a component, such as a transmission or distribution line. Voltage regulation describes the ability of a system to provide near constant voltage over a wide range of load conditions. The term may refer to a passive property that results in more or less voltage drop under various load conditions, or to the active intervention with devices for the specific purpose of adjusting voltage.

    Voltage regulation in transformers at unity power factor

    So I've done part a) Primary current = 200000/415=481.9 Cos θ = -0.8 Sin θ = 0.6 Reg=(481.9 ( 0.014*-0.8 + 0.057*0.6))/415 = 0.0267 Reg% = 2.67% Part b I simply used the same equation but for secondary: @ unity p.f., cos θ =1, sin θ = 0 secondary current = 200000/11000 = 18.18...

    Chiller overvoltage problem

    Hello, I have a problem with chiller. The chiller is connected on 400V AC (+-10%) substation. But, at the end of transmission line, on my chiller terminals, I have 410V, my chiller has Un=390V, so the chiller has often breakdown, probably the electronics are so sensitive...do you have any idea...

    Transformer voltage regulation and calculations

    This particular question is for an assignment. However, I believe that I have the final (correct) answer, but want to check the understanding. I am required to calculate the resistance of the secondary winding of a transformer. The transformer is a 415:11000 V step-up, rated at 200kVA but with...

    Transformer Voltage Regulation

    Hi, I want to calculate voltage regulation of a transfromer. I have learned that voltage regulation is (Vnl-Vfl)/Vfl. While solving some problems for practice I came across multiple questions. In some of them where the load is given I understand how to solve them. I just find the No load...

    LDO voltage regulator stability

    I haven't done any Bode plots before, and so I'm reading about LDO stability and I came across this file, which I am trying to understand: http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slyt194/slyt194.pdf Under the stability analysis, it names the poles and zeroes. How are these calculated? I assume that the...

    How can I build a precise voltage regulator for my Nokia N8 car charger?

    I have a nokia N8 cell phone and it is very precise about what it will allow to charge it. Mostly it will only accept wall chargers, not car power in any way. There is no way it knows the car charger isn't in the wall so all I can guess is the power is "dirty" and therefore it denies it. My...

    Negative Voltage Regulation in Transformer

    How can a transformer have negative voltage regulation? A few texts state that a leading power factor can give rise to negative power factor, but I have not been able to figure out how this is possible. One vague explanation in my mind is that capacitance across the secondary terminal will...

    Voltage Regulation: How to Calculate Reactive Power

    I a question: 1. How does voltage regulation works? I was told that if we set the value of the capacitor so that it supplies one-half of the reactive power absorbed by the line we will get a perfect voltage regulation. Anyone knows how to come up with the equation?
