Answer #1

In case of resistive load and at a unity power factor, the load current is in phase with secondary voltage.

Therefore, voltage regulation =

(V0(NL) - V0(FL) )/V0(FL)

V0(NL) = Transformer no load output voltage

V0(FL) = Transformer full load output voltage

The no load output voltage is bigger than its full load output voltage, so the above equation is positive.

When the transformer has resistive load and at a unity power factor, the primary power factor = 0.95 lag.

Power factor is defined as the ratio of real power to apparent power. The power factor of the transformer is load dependent.
