A 5 kVA, 50 V/100 V, single-phase transformer has a secondary terminal voltage of 95 V when loaded. The regulation of the transformer is

  1. 4.5%
  2. 9%
  3. 5%
  4. 1%

Correct answer: 5%

Solution

Rated secondary voltage is 100 V; under load it drops to 95 V. Voltage regulation = (100 - 95)/100 = 5%. The stored 9% is incorrect.
