John appears to be taking into account the impedance of the winding vs. the
impedance that the winding is connected to (the 710 ohm line).
A review of how transformers work is in order. Except for stray effects
(capacitance between windings, resistance in a core), transformers have
no impedance of their own. Rather, they multiply the impedance connected
to the other winding by the square of the turns ratio. If you measure Z
of an ideal transformer with the other winding open circuit, you should
see an open circuit (infinite Z). Real transformers have strays, so
you'll see some high Z.
