Iterative Method for Estimating the Parameters of a Linear Transformer Model

The equivalent circuit of the transformer is an abstract model that describes the real behavior of the transformer. Today, several equivalent circuits are known. The most well-known are the T-equivalent circuit and the <tex xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Π</tex> -equivalent circuit that derives from it. Parameters are typically estimated by nameplate nominal parameters, short-circuit, open-circuit measurements, etc. In this procedure, the simplifications used introduce inaccuracies into the estimate. This paper describes an iterative method that minimizes inaccuracy.
