← ScienceWhich risk greatly increases when ferromagnetic core binders degrade?
A)Eddy current losses increase rapidly✓
B)Hysteresis losses become negligible
C)Core saturation threshold decreases slightly
D)Leakage inductance experiences exponential drop
💡 Explanation
Increased eddy current losses occurs, caused by degradation of ferromagnetic core binders allowing unintended conductive paths via eddy currents. Because binder failure disrupts insulation, eddy current losses dramatically increase; therefore increased heating is the main risk, rather than reduced saturation or dropped inductance levels.
