Thomas and fellow SI-List colleagues: There is an excellent discussion of the circuit theory derivation of the non-ideal transformer in Chapter 18, Sections 18.4 thru 18.7 in the circuits text book "Analysis of Electric Cirucits", by Egon Brenner and Mansour Javid, the McGraw Hill Electrical and Electronic Engineering Series, McGraw Hill Book Company, Published in 1959. This is one of the classic "black cover" books that McGraw Hill published over the years, particularly during the 1950's and 1960's and documents the foundations of modern circuit theory, fields and waves, complex variables, LaPlace Transforms and other pertinent "analog" electrical engineering subject matter. Unfortunately, I do not know for certain if the book is still in print but I doubt it. The derivation also includes the inclusion of losses for the linear x-former. Thanks for addressing this topic; it made me go looking back to find the complete story.
