Why leakage reactance is kept small?

Leakage reactance is useful for limiting the short circuit current in transformer and generators. therefore normally the reactance of transformer varies for 4.5% for distribution transformer to 12.5% for 400KV class.


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.

What is the source of energy loss in a transformer?

Heat. On less well designed (or incorrectly used) Transformers you can get current leakage too.


What is the main source of energy loss in a transformer?

What is the source of leakage current in a transistor?

The current of the minority charges (collector region) is the source of the leakage current. At higher temperature, this leakage current increases due to increase in thermal energy.
