Introduction h quivalnt schm of a transformr is a basic tool in lctrical nginring of altrnating currnts. Its classical form is usd vrywhr whn magntic coupling xists. Commonly an quivalnt schm of -typ with on vrtical magntizing branch is usd. It is wll known that a transformr having mor than thr magntically coupld windings cannot b rprsntd uniquly by a -typ quivalnt schm. In ordr to b dscribd corrctly, thr coupld windings nd thr slf- and thr mutual inductancs. An quivalnt schm has to includ th sam numbr of indpndnt paramtrs. h -typ quivalnt schm for thr windings nds accordingly six paramtrs: thr lakag inductancs, on common magntizing inductanc and two winding ratios, rcalculating th diffrnt paramtrs to a rfrnc winding. So, six indpndnt inductancs can b uniquly rprsntd by six paramtrs of th quivalnt schm.

A propr rprsntation of traction transformrs is of a grat intrst for dsignrs as wll as for usrs. In [6] an quivalnt schm of a laboratory modl traction transformr with four windings has bn dvlopd and a procdur of dtrmining its paramtrs by fild computation has bn dscribd, including magntic non-linarity of th transformr cor. his papr aims to prsnt a procdur, which allows stimating ths paramtrs from som masurmnts on th transformr by no-load and short-circuit oprations..
