Which risk increases when a ferromagnetic core saturates?

💡 Explanation

Transformer action depends on induced EMF. When ferromagnetic core saturates, magnetic permeability plummets, decreasing inductance, because any further increase in current does not increase the magnetic field -- therefore eddy current loss accelerates exponentially, rather than efficient AC energy transfer, under normal operating conditions.
