← ScienceWhich limitation arises when a ferromagnetic core transformer reaches saturation?
A)Increased core hysteresis losses appear✓
B)Reduced eddy current heating emerges
C)Dielectric breakdown risk increases
D)Magnetostriction vibrations diminish
💡 Explanation
Increased core hysteresis losses appear because once the ferromagnetic domains are fully aligned during saturation, increasing the magnetic field no longer increases magnetisation, because the magnetic domain growth stalls, therefore, much more energy is lost to hysteresis rather than useful transformation.
