voltage regulation
1. The ratio of the difference between no-load and full-load output voltage of a device to the full-load output voltage, expressed as a percentage.
2. The change in voltage magnitude that occurs when the load (at a specified power factor) is reduced from the rated or nominal value to zero, with no intentional manual readjustment of any voltage control, expressed in percent of nominal full-load voltage.
