Here's an example:
24V on primary, measure 0.80V and 0.56V on secondary taps.
Ratio is 30 : 1 and 42.8 : 1
Impedance ratios are 900:1 and 1836:1
So it's 7.2K:8, 7.3K:4 (14.4K to 16 is unlikely...)
The actual load impedance will be be a bit higher than this measured ratio, due to the winding resistance. If you measure the ratio with an 8 Ohm load on the transformer, you'll be including this effect, and ratio will be a bit higher.
