State and justify which of the following two transformers is better: Transformer A = 4% voltage regulation Transformer B = 6% voltage regulation
Last Answer : Transformer A with 4% voltage regulation is better. Justification: Voltage regulation refers to the percentage change in secondary voltage when load is changed from no-load to full-load with primary voltage ... 4% voltage regulation, which is less as compared to 6% of transformer B, it is better.
