I would imagine a saturation transformer would run a little hot normally. Because the
energy required for regulation during a dip would have to be stored by the unit, and the
energy surplus during a surge would have to be dissipated in a non current flow manor,
guess what.... That is heat.... And the energy stored for a dip that also may not have
been used during that cycle would also need to be dissipated, again as heat.
Normal transformers try and be 100% efficient. energy in = energy out.
This one is required to do some regulation.
That is work, and with 'work + energy out = energy in'. If this transformer does all its work
inductively, it will make heat because of the losses in the resistance of the copper.
