The rating of a real transformer is 15 kVA , 2300/230-V then can we say that the primary rms is 2300 V or can we say that the secondary rms is 230 V or both.
To clarify further, suppose to solve for certain characteristics of this transformer like primary current and secondary current i use the equivalent circuit equation of the transformer referred to the primary side as:
Vp = aVs + Req*Ip + jXeq*Ip
Then what should i use for Vp or Vs in the above equation looking at the rating of the transformer.
In the above equation looking at the rating data given above is Vp= 2300 or Vs = 230 ?As mentioned earlier the transformer is mentioned to be real.

From these specs you know:
And when it comes to RMS, the transformer is probably spec'd for sine wave voltages. This means the peak voltage on high side can be no larger than 1.41 × 2300 = 3250V and 325V for the low voltage side.
