The key takeaways are how to determine the equivalent circuit parameters and voltage regulation of transformers from test results and specifications.

You calculate the equivalent circuit parameters of a transformer by determining the equivalent resistances and reactances referred to the primary and secondary sides from the test results and transformer specifications.

You calculate the voltage regulation of a transformer by determining the equivalent impedance from the equivalent circuit parameters and using the voltage regulation formula VR% = (V1 - V2)/V1 * 100, where V1 is the rated voltage and V2 is the voltage under load conditions.

following test result:
