250/500 V transformer, parameters both sides
Short answer
Using the printed test-side assignment, LV side: Req=0.694 Ω, Xeq=1.515 Ω, R0=195.3 Ω, X0=65.97 Ω; HV side: Req=2.778 Ω, Xeq=6.06 Ω, R0=781.25 Ω, X0=263.9 Ω. If the OC and SC side labels are interchanged, LV values become R0=781 Ω, X0=264 Ω, Req=0.174 Ω, Xeq=0.379 Ω.
A 1 phase 250/500 V, 50 Hz transformer gave the following test results: Open circuit test: 250 V, 1 A, 80 W on H.V. side Short-circuit test: 20 V, 12 A, 100 W on L.V. side Calculate the equivalent circuit parameters and draw the equivalent circuit referred to low voltage side and high voltage side.
Data as printed: the OC test is on the HV winding (250 V, 1 A, 80 W) and the SC test is on the LV winding (20 V, 12 A, 100 W). The test values are used exactly as given. The transformer is 250/500 V, so the LV winding is 250 V, the HV winding is 500 V, and , .

Answer: HV side: , , , . LV side: , , ,
Note: 250 V is the LV rating, so the side labels in the paper are probably swapped (normally the OC test is done on the LV side and the SC test on the HV side). With that reading the results are: LV side , , , ; HV side , , , .
