A simple device could be constructed to see what various cores saturated at, I came across this Site a while ago that has a simple circuit to view the saturation curve on a scope. I have a number of E cores and ferrite rings that might work, would be easier to test them first prior to testing in the inverter and possibly blowing something up.
