For transformers operating near saturation, which consequence results from exceeding the magnetic flux density limit?

💡 Explanation

Increased core hysteresis losses occur because exceeding flux density pushes the core material into magnetic saturation, which means increased energy is used reversing magnetic domains via magnetic hysteresis; therefore losses increase, rather than voltage staying consistent.
