Equivalent Circuit of Transformer
The concept of Equivalent Circuits exists to help us analyze transformer as by using this concept, we can transform all the parameters to either side. When referred to primary side, it is called Equivalent Circuit referred to primary side and when referred to secondary side, it is called Equivalent Circuit referred to secondary side.

The no load primary current
The core losses and flux losses are negligible, so we will remove them to further simply the circuit,
Now we can perform calculations:
Equivalent Circuit referred to Primary Side
This means shifting all the elements to the primary side.
Before we get into equations for equivalent resistance and reactance, get this formula for relation between resistance and turn ratio:
Equivalent Circuit referred to Secondary Side
This means shifting all the elements to the secondary side.
