TESTS AND TEST CONDITIONS VPN 98 - 024 PAGE 7.1.21.
The recommended test conditions depend on the inductance of the energised winding;
they are given in the table below assuming that the energised winding is the one with
the highest number of turns:

The Test Conditions for Turns Ratio Measurement
Notes: The signal is applied to the primary winding, or the winding which has the
largest number of turns.
However, if by doing this, the expected voltage on the winding with the
smallest number of turns falls below 1mV, then the test voltage should be
increased.
This may also require an increase in the test frequency so that the current
taken by the driven winding does not become too large, but in general this
frequency increase should be kept as small as possible to avoid problems
caused by stray capacitance at high frequencies.
