For same kVA rating the induction motor’s leakage flux as compared to a transformer is:

  1. Less
  2. More
  3. Identical

Correct answer: 2. More

For same kVA rating the induction motor’s leakage flux as compared to a transformer is more.

The reason is that in an induction motor there is an air gap present and the rotor and stator windings are distributed along the periphery of the air gap. The leakage reactance of these windings is quite large. On the other, a transformer is a static device and has a much lower leakage flux.
