Actually, the core saturation depends on how much voltage is applied
at a given frequency. Most power transformers are run partly into
saturation at rated line, to get the most from the copper and iron
available, in exchange for heat and less efficiency. The magnetizing
current and losses will occur even with no load. The resistive loss
will go up more with load. But, I don't think this matters in this
application anyway.
