Talk:Magnetic core

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Core saturation is a critical consideration. There is a limit to the magnetic flux a core will carry. You really can not use magnetic cores safely without knowing about saturation. Air gaps are often used to avoid saturation. B/H curves could be shown and discussed.

There are already articles on Saturation (magnetic) and Saturable reactor and Hysteresis that can help. The hysteresis article covers all uses of the term, but does show a B/H curve. The Magnetic amplifier article references these, plus magnetic core and transformer.

The Transformer article also talks about cores, but omits pot cores. That article could benefit from this one.
