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 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.
Why leakage flux in transformer equivalent circuit is modeled as an inductor?
Because some of the primary flux fails to link with its own winding, the back- e.m.f. induced into the primary winding will be slightly lower than it would be had there been no leakage at all. We can account for this 'loss' of induced voltage as though it were caused by a small voltage drop occurring in the primary circuit, due to a small inductive-reactance connected in series with the primary winding. We call this the 'primary leakage reactance' (Xp).A similar explanation can be applied to the secondary circuit, thus giving the secondary circuit a 'secondary leakage reactance' (Xs).
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 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.

What is synchronous reactance in alternator?
The overall reactance of the armature winding is the sum of its leakage reactance plus fictitious reactance, which is known as synchronous reactance (Xs).Xs=XL+Xarwhere XL and Xar are in Ω/phase. Therefore, Xs is in Ω/phase.The impedance of armature winding is obtained by combining its resistance and its synchronous reactance.

What if supply given to 3 phase induction motor without rotor?
It'll behave like a transformer on open circuit with a huge leakage reactance due to the very large air gap resulting from there being not rotor. So it will draw a largish reactive current from the supply.
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.
How can stop transformer oil leakage?
Find the leak and repair it. There's not much else to say!
