Which outcome occurs when transformer iron core operates beyond saturation in a power distribution circuit?

💡 Explanation

Increased harmonic distortion emerges, because core saturation drastically increases magnetizing current which produces non-sinusoidal flux waveforms in the transformer circuit. Therefore, the output has harmonics, rather than purely sinusoidal voltage, due to increased current density near coil edges.
