Over the whole is then wound the primarv coil or wire the nature of this construction it will be obvious thatas long as the shield formed by the wires c is below magneticsaturation the secondary coil or circuit is effectually protected orshielded from the inductive influence of the primary, althoughon open circuit it may exhibit some electromotive force. Whenthe strength of the primary reaches a certain value, the shield c,becoming saturated, ceases to protect the secondary from induc-tive action, and current is in consequence developed similar reasons, when the primary current weakens, theweakening of the secondary is retarded to the same or approxi-Tuately the same extent.
