Hi,

Please see a very common way to measure the leakage inductance of a flyback transformer:

Short circuit all the secodary windings together, and measure the inductance of the primary winding. You then get the leakage inductance of the transformer.

by the way, there are two ways to short the secondary windings: 1:short all the secondary windings to one point; 2: short all the secondary windings separately. please see the attached pics. could u tell me which one is correct or more accurate? thanks...
