 +  * \(\underline{I}_{\rm Fe}\): current through \(R_{\rm Fe}\), in phase with voltage, represents iron losses.

 +===== Common pitfalls =====
 +
 +  * **Using a transformer with DC:** A transformer needs changing flux. With DC, after the switching transient, an ideal transformer no longer transfers voltage. A real transformer may overheat because the winding resistance limits the current only weakly.
 +  * **Forgetting the current ratio sign:** The minus sign in \(\frac{\underline{I}_1}{\underline{I}_2}=-\frac{1}{n}\) comes from reference arrows. Do not interpret it as negative power loss.
 +  * **Mixing peak values and RMS values:** In AC power and transformer ratings, \(U\) and \(I\) usually mean RMS values. Time functions are written \(u(t)\), \(i(t)\). Instantaneous short-circuit peaks are written here as \(i_{\rm p}\).
 +  * **Confusing reluctance and resistance:** Magnetic reluctance \(R_{\rm m}\) has the unit \(1/{\rm H}\), not \(\Omega\).
 +  * **Confusing \(n\) and the technical no-load voltage ratio \(\ddot{\rm u}\):** The ideal ratio is \(n=\frac{N_1}{N_2}\). The measured no-load voltage ratio is close to \(n\), but not exactly equal for a real transformer.
 +  * **Forgetting the square when referring impedances:** Voltages transform with \(n\), currents with \(\frac{1}{n}\), but impedances transform with \(n^2\).
 +  * **Ignoring leakage reactance:** Leakage reactance is often the dominant part of short-circuit impedance. It strongly affects fault current and voltage drop.
 +  * **Treating \(\rm u_k\) as a voltage in volts:** \(\rm u_k\) is normally given in percent. Insert it consistently in formulas.
 +  * **Using \(2.54\) as a universal law:** The first short-circuit peak depends on the \(R/X\) ratio and on the switching instant. The factor \(2.54\) is an approximation.
 +  * **Opening a current transformer secondary:** This can create dangerous voltages. Current transformers are operated with a low burden, approximately as a short-circuit.
 +  * **Assuming ideal isolation at every frequency:** Real transformers have parasitic capacitances between windings. For high-frequency noise and EMC, the “isolated” sides can still be capacitively coupled.
