Using the Short Circuit Test on a Single Phase Transformer?

[mikehsiao789]

Homework Statement

A short circuit test is performed on a small single phase transformer. The results are:
Primary Voltage 5V, 60Hz
Primary Current 2A
Secondary Current 10A
Primary Power 8W
a) Making suitable approximations deduce the primary/secondary turns ratio (single number)?
b) Making suitable approximations deduce the total winding resistance in ohms referred to the primary side?
c) Making suitable approximations deduce the total leakage inductance in mH referred to the primary side?

I have the calculations, but I am not sure if I am doing them correctly. It would be awesome if someone can help me! Thank you so much :)

Homework Equations

Power = (Isc)^2 * (Resistance viewed from the primary)
Zeq= Vsc/ Isc
X= sqrt(z^2-r^2)
(current of the primary) / (current of the secondary) = 1/a *for an ideal transformer*

The Attempt at a Solution

For a) (current of the primary) / (current of the secondary) = 1/a, hence a= 5 // I know this is for an ideal transformer...

b) P = IV = Isc^2*Req => 10V/ 4A = 2.5 Ohms. not sure if I should use the 8W primary power given instead...
c) Zeq = Vsc/ Isc = 5/2 = 2.5 ohms =>X= sqrt(z^2-r^2) => X = sqrt( 2.5^2+2.5^2)=3.53 =X
X= 2*pi*60 *L => L = 9.3636mH

V/I gives the magnitude of the impedance, so includes both R and X. Using the power equation limits the result to the real component, i.e., the resistance.
