Transformers - winding resistance and leakage reactance

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on understanding the combined winding resistance and leakage reactance of transformers when referred to the primary side. When a test signal is applied to the primary side, the load is influenced by the magnetizing and leakage inductances, along with the winding resistances and the transformed secondary load. A clear understanding of how secondary load impedance transforms to the primary side is essential for accurate analysis. For further clarification, participants are directed to a relevant Wikipedia page on transformers.

Yes. When you drive a test signal into the primary side of a transformer, the load presented by the transformer is a combination of the magnetizing and leakage inductances of the transformer, along with the winding resistances, and the transformed load on the secondary. Are you familiar with such a model of transformers, and are you familiar how the secondary load impedance transforms across to the primary side?
