    Transformer saturation means its core saturation.
    Transformer core is made up of silicon steel laminations to reduce eddy current losses and to provide low reluctance path to the flow of flux.
    All magneticmaterials will experience a phenomena called hysteresis loss.

    In case of transformer also if the primary current (flux) keeps on increasing (acc to load) at a certain stage hystersis loss will comes to such a stage it will not
    further increase. This situation in a transformer is called as saturation of core.

    Transformer saturation is what happens in various magnetic cores.
    In simple words after a point ,even if you increase the current the flux will not increase and remain same.

    please make sure..... taransformation saturation is a point where hysteresis loss will not increase or flux will not increase ????? both are not same right ?????
