Which risk increases disproportionately when stray magnetic fields saturate transformer cores?

A)Eddy current loss in laminations
B)Dielectric breakdown within insulation
C)Increased winding copper conduction loss
D)Elevated structural vibrational energy dissipation

💡 Explanation

Eddy current losses rise sharply at magnetic saturation because permeability is reduced, driving greater induced currents in the core's laminations through electromagnetic induction; therefore, increased eddy current heating occurs rather than simple winding resistance or structural losses.
