Voltage Regulation Calculator

Reg(%) = (VNL − VFL)/VFL × 100

Instructions

Measure or enter the no-load and full-load output voltages of a source or transformer and click Calculate.

Formula

Reg(%) = (VNL − VFL)/VFL × 100

Common Questions

Is lower regulation better?

Yes. Lower percentage indicates better voltage stability under load.

Can it be negative?

Rarely, with certain regulators VFL may exceed VNL, yielding negative regulation.
