what is saturation in transformer

Answer Posted / rajesh tokalapudi

Transformer saturation means its core
saturation.transformer core is made up of silicon steel
laminations to reduce eddy current losses and to provide
low reluctance path to the flow of flux.all magnetic
materials will experiance a phenomena called hysteresis
loss.in case of transformer also if the primary current
(flux)keep on increasing(acc to load)at a certain stage
hystersis loss will comes to such a stage it will not
further increase.this situation in a transformer is called
as saturation of core.
