Actually it depends on the air gap between the core and the windings of the transformer.
This is the reason why stepped core is used in medium and large Transformers as it decreases the air gap between the windings and the core of the transformer.

What is the use of shunt in power transformer?
In Power Transformer in higher rating to minimise the Stray losses (losses caused by leakage flux linking with structural part- tank - yoke plates) Tank shunts shunt the leakage flux and contains it within. shunts are made of CRNGO.
What is the difference between ideal transformer and practical transformer?
There are basically 4 major differences :- 1. The windings (both primary and secondary) of an ideal transformer are considered to have zero resistance, hence the transformer is lossless. 2. There is no leakage flux in an ideal transformer. 3. The permiability of the core material in ideal transformer is considered to be tending to infinity and hence the current needed to set up the flux in the transformer is negligible. 4. There is zero hysterisis and eddy current losses in an ideal transformer.
Why do you represent leakage flux in a transformer by inductive reactance?
A transformer is often represented by an equivalent circuit, in which the transformer itself is considered to be 'ideal', and its basic losses are then represented as resistance and reactance in series with both the primary and secondary windings for a loaded transformer, or just on the primary side for a transformer on open circuit.The transformer's primary flux comprises two components: the main flux, which links the primary and secondary windings, and a leakage flux which links just the primary winding. The leakage flux is considered arising from a self inductance in series with an 'ideal' primary winding. The reactance of this inductance is termed the primary leakage reactance. The voltage drop across this reactance will lead the primary no-load current by 90 degrees which, when added to the voltage drop across the resistance of the primary winding, acts to reduce the back emf of the primary winding below the value of the applied voltage and cause it to lag.A similar explanation accounts for the an inductance and resistance in series with the secondary winding, when the transformer is loaded.
Why do you have variation in leakage reactance of induction motor?
leakage reactance in induction motor depends on the reluctance of the path in which the leakage flux is establishing. with the increase in stator current the leakage flux also increases but it cannot maintain linear relationship because of saturation of the leakage flux path, even though current is increasing the flux will not increase and it'll be constant after saturation. this leakage flux links with the stator winding and induces emf which will be opposite to the supply voltage causes drop in applied voltage , the drop in the applied voltage is represented with the leakage reactance. as flux is responsible for the induction of emf , the increase in current does not increase flux after saturation and therefore emf also doesnot increase so the leakage reactance is not constant throughout the machine operation...
What are the advantages of shell type transformers?
this type of transformer used special low loss steel to minimize eddy current losses and reduced leakage flux.
In transformer core flux depends on voltage whereas leakage flux depends on current?
In a Transformer, Core flux is the difference of primary flux and Secondary flux which are opposite to each other in direction. There difference is equal to the no load flux at all loads. So, some of primary flux passes through the core and remaining becomes leakage flux (Because Secondary flux forces it to get out of the core). Same is the case with Secondary flux. Now, flux is directly proportional to Voltage and Current. When Current increases due to increased load (and voltage remains same): Then both primary and secondary flux increase. Because both of them increase, so there difference remains same. And all remaining flux is forced out. Hence leakage flux increases with current, but Core flux remains constant. When Primary Voltage is increased: Then only primary flux increases. So difference of this new increased primary flux and previous same secondary flux increases. Hence Core flux increases with voltage, But leakage flux does not. That's how In transformer core flux depends on voltage whereas leakage flux depends on current.
What is magnetic leakage of a single phase transformer?
The magnetic leakage should be very small and designers go to some lengths to reduce it as far as possible because it causes leakage inductance, which is a bad thing. Ideally the magnetic field must be confined to the magnetic core of the transformer.
Does leakage flux produced in one winding cut into another winding in a transformer?
No.that's why it is considered as a drawback

Difference between flux linkage and flux leakage?
i) leakage flux is those flux which goes through the air and linkage flux is those flux whose go through the cell. ii)leakage flux is the loss at flux but linkage flu is warning flux. iii)leakage flux is cause of eddy current loss and linkage flux is case of copper loss.

What will happen if height to width ratio of the window of core-type transformer is increased?
Then the leakage flux will be reduced as leakage flux is iversely propertional to window factor i,e height to width ratio of the window. As height is more & width is less then the leakage flux ll travel through low reluctance path i,e core itself and it adds with the main flux or working flux.
Why there is a phase shift of 30degree in Dyn11 3 phase transformer?
The phase shift is caused by inductance in the transformer. Any inductance from magnetic flux that fails to link both windings is called leakage flux, and the resulting inductance is called leakage inductance.
What do you mean by leakage reactance in a single phase transformer?
The leakage reactance is one of the components of the reactance in the input impedance that is there when the load impedance is purely resistive. The leakage reactance is due to flux that fails to link both the primary and the secondary windings.
