Example 1. when the tap setting is at 0% and the actual voltage drop below the primary setting voltage then the actual sec volt

ng voltage then the actual sec voltage is drop as well

𝑉_1/𝑉_2 =𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑠 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜

𝑉_2=𝑉_1/(𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑠 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜)

2. if want to increase the sec

voltage then we need decrease
the turn ratio by changing the
tap setting to negative tap
