VOLTAGE REGULATION OF TRANSFORMER

With constant voltage applied in primary, the secondary terminal voltage will decrease due to voltage drop across its internal resistance and leakage reactance.
Let 0V2 and V2 be the secondary terminal voltages at no load and on load respectively. There are three kinds of voltage regulation, which are discussed below.

1.30.1 Inherent Voltage Regulation

The difference 0V2 – V2 is known as inherent voltage regulation of the transformer.

1.30.2 Voltage Regulation Down

If inherent voltage drop is divided by 0V2, it is known as voltage regulation down. Mathematically, we can write

1.30.3 Voltage Regulation Up

If inherent voltage drop is divided by V2, it is known as voltage regulation up. Mathematically, we can write it as

The secondary terminal voltage not only depends on load current but also on the power factor of the load. The regulation is said to be at full load provided V2 is determined for full load and at specified power factor condition. V2 drops more and more with increasing load current. For lagging power factor load, V2 < E2, the voltage regulation is positive. For leading power factor load, V2 > E2, the voltage regulation is negative.
To maintain constant secondary terminal voltage on load, the primary terminal voltage is adjusted. It is expected that voltage drop would be as small as possible. Therefore, the lesser the value of regula-tion, the better is the performance of a transformer.

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...

Characteristics of Separately Excited D.C. Generators

The characteristics is separately excited d.c. generator are divided into two types, 1) Magnetization   and         2) Load characteristics. 1.1 Magnetization or Open Circuit Characteristics         The arrangement to obtain this characteristics is shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1  Obtaining O.C.C. of separately excited generator        The rheostat as a potential driver is used to control the field current and the flux. It is varied from zero and is measured on ammeter connected.        E o  = (ΦPNZ) / (60A)        As I f is varied, then Φ change and hence induced e.m.f. E o  also varies. It is measured on voltmeter connected across armature. No Load is connected to machine, hence characteristics are also called no load characteristics which is graph of E o  against field current I f as sho...
