← ScienceWhich phenomenon occurs from magnetic saturation in transformer cores?
A)Increased harmonic distortion in output voltage✓
B)Reduced eddy current losses marginally
C)Improved transformer voltage regulation overall
D)Decreased reactive power demand significantly
💡 Explanation
Increased harmonic distortion in the output voltage occurs because magnetic saturation limits flux increase in the core, altering the magnetization current's waveform. This introduces harmonics because the B-H curve flattens, therefore distorting sinusoidal voltage; rather than solely core heating.
