Good question. It doesn’t matter when using this method. Even though the calculated results are in ohms, it’s the total calculated magnitude of impedance and is not the same as DC resistance, which cannot be used to calculate turns ratio. Hope this helps and thanks for watching. Best, Don
Great information Don! It’s always a relief when the transformer checks out good.
What if the wires are of different gauges?
