By measuring the voltage across the winding using a scope, then seeing what Bmax is using teh equation

Vrms = 4.44.F.N.A.B

F Hz     N turns   A core cross-sectional area in metres^2    B tesla

If B works out higher than about 0.1 for a ferrite core, then you are approaching saturation

Hello LF'ers

In  say a W1VD power amp, or in general, how can you test if the output transformer is
starting to saturate please? Thanks.
