Which risk increases when a transformer's operating frequency decreases?

A)Core saturation and overheating
B)Reduced eddy current losses
C)Decreased inductive reactance
D)Increased voltage transformation ratio

💡 Explanation

Core saturation and overheating risk increases because the magnetic flux density must increase to maintain the same voltage, driving the core into saturation via magnetic hysteresis; therefore, saturation occurs rather than efficient operation due to decreased frequency.
