In a transformer, the secondary winding leakage reactance and the secondary circuit impedance are directly related components that significantly affect the transformer’s operation and performance.
1. Leakage Reactance: This is an inherent property of the transformer’s winding due to the magnetic flux that doesn’t link both the primary and secondary windings. It mainly arises from the flux that paths through the air surrounding the windings or the transformer core material without contributing to the energy transfer between the primary and secondary. Leakage reactance is represented as an inductive reactance (X_L) in the equivalent circuit of the transformer.
2. Secondary Circuit Impedance (Z_2): This refers to the overall impedance seen by the secondary side of the transformer. It includes not only the secondary winding’s resistance but also any load impedance connected to the secondary side. The total impedance on the secondary circuit influences how the voltage and current behave on that side of the transformer.
The relation between the secondary winding leakage reactance and secondary circuit impedance is crucial because the leakage reactance is a component of the secondary circuit impedance. Specifically, the overall secondary circuit impedance is a combination of the leakage reactance (X_{L2}), the inherent resistance of the secondary winding (R_2), and the load impedance (Z_{Load}) connected to the secondary. Mathematically, if we represent only the transformer’s impedance, it can be simplified as:
[Z_2 = R_2 + jX_{

Explanation: The secondary winding leakage reactance is directly proportional to the
secondary circuit impedance. In secondary winding the leakage reactance is reduced
and in turn the secondary circuit impedance is reduced.
