Which consequence arises when ferromagnetic core saturation occurs in transformers?

A)Harmonic distortion in output voltage
B)Decreased core hysteresis losses
C)Improved transformer voltage regulation
D)Increased power factor correction

💡 Explanation

When the core saturates, the magnetic flux plateaus, even when the current increases, because the magnetic domains are fully aligned, inhibiting further magnetization via domain wall motion; therefore, harmonic distortion increases, rather than improved regulation, at saturation levels.
