Same. Magnetization current and core saturation are fairly fundamental properties influencing transformer design, but they're barely even mentioned in introductory texts. I feel like a lot of modern transformers are just sort of cargo-cult imports of old designs because everyone who knew the salient parameters has retired and the current crew just kinda nudges things until they work. A from-scratch explanation, up to the current state of the art, would be invaluable to anyone who deals with them. But nah. This is HN, where headlines are their own code.
