The transformer impedance is the amount of voltage applied for transformer during the load test.
Answer.
I really don't agree with the answer given by the previous user.
Impedance is the total vector opposition offered by the transformer to the flow of current i.e the vector sum of its pure resistance (R) and it's inductive reactance (XL). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_impedance
Another AnswerThe 'impedance' of a transformer is usually expressed as a 'percentage impedance', which is defined (perhaps rather confusingly!) as the ratio of the primary voltage that will result in the full rated current flowing through the secondary, to the rated primary voltage.

What are the advantages of Transformer coupling method?
transformer coupling ensures maximum power transfer is obtained even if the output impedance is not equal to the load impedance
How do you convert percent impedance of transformer to impedance value?
The apparent impedance looking into a transformer from one side will not be the same as looking in it from the other, which is why percent impedance is used. If you are looking from the high voltage winding (I'm labeling #1) to the low voltage winding (#2), you must scale the percent impedance as follows: (% impedance) x (Winding #1 nominal voltage)^2 / (transformer base VA)
The purpose of transformer percentage impedance?
Inherently, the actual impedance seen at the secondary voltage will be different than that seen at the primary voltage. To make things easy, we use symmetrical components, where transformers are reduced to a p.u. (per unit) impedance. 100 x p.u. is equivalent to the percentage impedance you are referring to. When converted to per unit, a transformer has one impedance, not two, so it does not matter whether you are looking through the transformer from the secondary or the primary.
What is the effect of transformer impedance on regulation?
The lower the impedance, the lower the voltage drop across the transformer as it is loaded. This means regulation is better, since voltage variance is smaller.
How a transformer can be used as impedance matching?
If the line impedance is Z0 and the load is ZL then connect the load using a transformer with N turns ration. N=sqrt(Z0/ZL)
What is the relationship between frequency and the size of a transformer?
Basically the characteristics of a transformer depends on the impedance(resistance) and on the coupling of its primary and secondary coils. The impedance of a coil depends on the frequency, as the frequency increases you need less volume of iron core and less number of turns in the coil for a given impedance, then reducing the size of the transformer.
What is the effect of low impedance transformer on regulation?
Oh, dude, a low impedance transformer on regulation? It's like having a really chill friend who always has your back. Basically, a low impedance transformer helps maintain a stable output voltage even when there are fluctuations in the input voltage. So, it's like the transformer saying, "I got you, bro," and keeping things running smoothly.
What type of transformer configuration will you select to design a high input impedance and low output impedance amplifier?
main volage
What are three requirement for connecting the transformer in paralle?
Transformer capacity (kvA) shall be identical, Both transformer impedance, secondary voltage and frequency shall be identical.
What is percentage impedance?
In electrical engineering, the percentage impedance of a transformer is the voltage drop on a full load, which is expressed as a percentage of the specified rated voltage. It's measured by conducting a short circuit test.
What is the difference between Ohm and Ohm CT in impedance of an audio transformer?
The side of the transformer that has the ohm CT which translates into a winding on the transformer that has a center tap . This side of the transformer was likely attached directly to the audio output transistors set up in push pull configuration. This is what the center tap is for. This side of the transformer would have a higher impedance and is directly driven by the power supply to provide amplification The transformer also isolates the amplifier voltage from the other side which is of low impedance. This may be in the range of 8 to to 16 ohms which would be directly tied to a speaker.
What should be the short circuit setting of the feeder breaker of a transformer so that it does not trip on short circuit fault in secondary side?
You need to model this - the line impedance and transformer impedance, and the voltage will determine this. There is no "one size fits all".
