Can anyone explain why a B-H curve with Hysteresis doesn't result in a highly non-linear input-output transfer function for a transformer?
See the attached picture of a typical hysteresis loop, it is clearly highly non-linear even if you keep the signal small enough to stay out of the saturation region (beyond points b,e). So my question ...
