Grounding Loops are a phenomenon we come across in signal cables.

The shield of the signal

cables is intended to prevent interference from stray magnetic fields. This shielding needs to be
grounded at only one point.
If the shielding is grounded at two points, there is
a possibility that the two earth points may not
really be at the same potential. This can result in
the flow of current through the shield. This
current which flows through the shield will create
a magnetic field which can interfere with the
signal cable.
Grounding Loops can be prevented by ensuring that the shielding is grounded at only one end.
The other end should be taped and isolated.
Leakage Transformers are transformers where the magnetic flux of the secondary is loosely
coupled to the flux of the primary. This loose coupling ensures that the transformer can
withstand short circuit conditions.
This is particularly required in the case of welding transformers,
where high currents may occur if the welding electrode gets
fused with the job. Thus these transformers have high leakage
inductance.
Leakage Transformers are also used in extra low voltage
applications where short circuit conditions are expected. The
primary and secondary windings of a leakage transformers are
adequately sized to withstand heavy currents in short circuit
conditions.
Leakage Transformers are also known as Stray field Transformers
