An open-circuit voltage or no-load voltage is the voltage at which a power source is with no load present. This can be easily done with this calculator.

Formula & Table Summary:

Formula:

\( V_{NL} = E = 4.44 \times f \times N \times \Phi \)

no load voltage calculator

The No Load Voltage Calculator calculates the open-circuit voltage of an electric machine, or source without a load connected. It is a consideration of both the design and testing of generators, alternators, transformers, and other electrical systems, since it is close but not quite the same as the full-load voltage. The generated EMF and winding properties, and residual magnetism in the machine, determine the no-load voltage. The rated voltage, flux, and frequency can be found in alternators and transformers. This calculator returns the value of the open circuit voltage immediately by entering the crucial values such as EMF constant, velocity, and the number of turns. This can be used to predict performance and troubleshooting by engineers, electricians, and students without subjecting them to actual load.
