These tests are for the Elma TT iz1892 transformer.

It's a good transformer, if it weren't for the fact the saturation current is 10-40x higher than needed. If things go wrong, they go really wrong.

DC resistance

Primary:

Winding Resistance
(sample #1)
Resistance
(sample #2)
Windings
from datasheet
0.56 Ω 0.55 Ω 18
0.66 Ω 0.61 Ω 30
16Ω 0.83 Ω 0.81 Ω 48

I don't believe for a second the number of windings is accurate.

Secondary:

Winding Resistance
(sample #1)
Resistance
(sample #2)
Windings
from datasheet
10W 110 Ω 117 Ω 300
5W 157 Ω 168 Ω 400
2.5W 220 Ω 234 Ω 600
1.25W 318 Ω 336 Ω 725
0.625W 469 Ω 492 Ω 900

The windings from the datasheet are clearly wrong. I think they should be 300, 430, 600, 860, 1250.

Saturation

From the 16Ω to 10W and 16Ω to 0.625W, respectively.

Winding ratio: 7.4 and 30

Saturation: $0.25Vs$ and $1Vs$

16Ω to 10W 16Ω to 0.625W
