[SOLVED] What is the percentage regulation of a transformer?

[p.mahen]

A transformer produces an output voltage of 101 V under full load, and 100 V under no-load condition, what is the percentage regulation?

Re: What is the percentage regulation of transformer?

your figures are round the wrong way! - Voltage under load should be lower then voltage with no load. - 1%

Yes frank, I think it is wrong way.. so it is 100/101 = 1%?

Yes frank, I think it is wrong way.. so it is 100/101 = 1%? X = .99 Regulation = change in volts/volts, so 101 -100 = 1 (change in volts) / 100 = 1 %.
