Concept:

  • Percentage voltage regulation is defined as the difference of full load voltage to no load voltage with respect to full load voltage, i.e. Voltage Regulation = (Vno load - Vfull load)/ Vfull load .
  • Voltage Regulation is the figure of merit for a device.
  • When output is independent of the load, Vno load = Vfull load Therefore for an ideal power supply, the output voltage is independent of the load and the percentage regulation is equal to zero.
