Question

The overhang leakage reactance depends on the degree of saturation in the ferromagnetic parts.

(a) true

(b) false

I had been asked this question during an interview.

My question is from Pulsation Losses & Types of Leakages in section Principles of Magnetic Circuit Design of Design of Electrical Machines

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) true

Easy explanation: The overhang leakage reactance depends on the length of the overhang and the shape of the overhang. The overhang leakage reactance also depends upon the degree of saturation in the ferromagnetic parts.
