Use a multimeter on the ohms scale. put the two leads on each of the primary terminals and read the resistance. Then put the leads on the secondary side of the transformer and read the resistance.

∙ 12y agoBy checking the connectivity of the two pairs of wires (as both are electrically disconnected), the two sets (primary and secondary) can be separated from each other.
But the challenge is first to find which winding is high voltage and which one is low voltage and further more the turns ratio without applying power (that is the challenge) to the transformer
Let me know if there is an answer.
AnswerThe answer is straightforward. The primary is, by definition, whichever winding is connected to the supply, and the secondary is whichever winding is connected to the load!
To identify a winding, apply a continuity test between the accessible terminals using an ohmmeter. To identify the higher-voltage windings, measure the resistance of the coils -the higher-voltage winding will have the higher resistance.

∙ 11y agoIt depends on how accurate you need the results to be. You could get an approximate figure using an ohmmeter, or a very accurate figure using a Wheatstone Bridge. Transformer manufacturers would use specialist instruments for doing this. If you wanted to use the voltmeter/ammeter method, then you would have to use a d.c. source; with an a.c. source, you would be measuring its impedance.

What type of transformer is used in a resistance furnace?
A resistance furnace runs on electricity so it will be some type of electrical transformer.
What is the minimum resistance when megohming 13.2kv transformer?
A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.
The insulation resistance of a transformer winding can be easily measured with?
It depends on the rated voltage of the transformer winding -are you talking about a 12-V transformer winding or a 400-kV transformer winding? Obviously, there is no one answer to your question!
What is resistance between primary and secondary winding of transformer?
The primary and secondary windings of a mutual transformer are electrically isolated, and should have 'infinite' resistance between them when measured appropriately (which depends on voltage ratings of the windings).
What is the difference between ideal transformer and practical transformer?
There are basically 4 major differences :- 1. The windings (both primary and secondary) of an ideal transformer are considered to have zero resistance, hence the transformer is lossless. 2. There is no leakage flux in an ideal transformer. 3. The permiability of the core material in ideal transformer is considered to be tending to infinity and hence the current needed to set up the flux in the transformer is negligible. 4. There is zero hysterisis and eddy current losses in an ideal transformer.
Load test on single phase transformer?
The dc tests that can be done on a transformer are to measure the resistance of each windings and to measure the insulation resistance between the windings and between each winding and the transformer case.
Which losses are obtained form open circuit test in transformers?
This depends on the open circuit test performed and the type of transformer. In a Y/Y/D three phase transformer, the Z1N0 test losses are a measure of the high to tertiary resistance values (in the classic T model, most of this will be the tertiary resistance). Similarly the Z2N0 losses are a measure of the low to tertiary resistance.
What type of transformer is used in a resistance furnace?
A resistance furnace runs on electricity so it will be some type of electrical transformer.
How do you measure Input high voltage?
You can measure high voltage by using Potential Transformer (PT). or by using utility meter or power manager. ANSWER: Adding a hi resistance in series with a low resistance and measuring that voltage drop. If the resistance is known then current is determined and the source can be calculated. transformers do not work well with DC,
What is the minimum resistance when megohming 13.2kv transformer?
A megger would not be suitable for testing insulation resistance of a 13.2-kV transformer, as the transformer's voltage rating is significantly higher than the output voltage from a megger.
How do you earth in the 1600 kva transformer?
In 1600 kva transformer we provide NGR (Neutral grounding resistance)
What units do you measure resistance in?
Your measure resistance in OHMS ΩOhms.
How do you measure no-load current in a stabilizer?
Measuring No-LoadIn theory the no-load current of a transformer is zero. But in practice there is iron loss and core loss in the transformer, so there is power loss. Connect an ammeter in series with the stabilizer to measure the no-load current. Check your energy meter at no-load to see how much power is consumed. Ohms law: I(Amps) = E(voltage) divided by R(resistance). In the case of coils (transformer), the resistance of the coil would simply be the total impedance (Z). If I am remembering this correctly, you get, I=E/(R+Z)
What is the voltage when resistance is 1 ohm in transformer?
1 volt
Why during loading the voltage get decreased at output?
Output voltage (...of a transformer, for example...) will decrease as it is loaded because of the transformer's internal resistance. As output current increases/load resistance decreases, a larger voltage will be dropped across the internal transformer resistance. This same phenomenon is present in AC and DC systems (such as batteries).
How do you diagnose if a transformer?
You should measure the
