Percentage Voltage Regulation
1) \%Reg_{down} = \frac{V_{nl} - V_{fl}}{V_{nl}} \times 100\%

2) \%Reg_{up} = \frac{V_{nl} - V_{fl}}{V_{fl}} \times 100\%


*****
(1) No. equation is generally used
Vnl= No load secondary voltage
Vfl= Full load secondary voltage


******
Voltage regulation-down (Regdown): This happens  when the secondary  transformer terminal’s voltage output decreases due to a  load attached to it. Voltage regulation-up (Regup):  This occurs when the  secondary terminal of the transformer experiences  an increase in voltage  upon removal of the load.
Voltage Regulation for lagging and leadingFor lagging p.f
Vnl – Vfl = I2R02cosφ2 + I2X02cosφ2
For lagging p.f
Vnl – Vfl= I2R02cosφ2 -I2X02cosφ2
