@AskLorandt explains: Saturation current of an inductor

Lorandt explains what the saturation current of a power inductor is, and also how the saturation current is measured at Würth Elektronik. In this video he uses magnetics analyzer to measure the inductance value at several DC currents, and creates the saturation current chart out of them.
