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
