what is saturation in transformer

Answer Posted / rvg

Transformer saturation means its core get saturated due to
higher flux linkages than designed.simply we can say, the
feromagnetic substance acquired some residual magnetism due
to the application of higher level flux( about 4 to 5 times
normal designed flux). due to this, the transformer core
cannot act as a good flux linkage media.
