Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method uses the procedures commonly referredto as the “Constant Current Flux Reset Test Method”(C.C.F.R.). For graphic repres
24、entation of the magnetic ampli-fier core test see Appendix X3.4.2 Under its provision, a specific predetermined value ofsinusoidal-current excitation, Hmax,(Table 2) is established andthe corresponding induction change is measured to determinethe value of maximum induction which is then designatedBm
25、ax.4.3 The excitation is then changed to a unidirectionalhalf-wave sinusoidal current of the same magnitude as thatused for determining maximum induction. The change ininduction under this excitation then is measured to determinethe property designated (Bmax Br), or the change between themaximum and
26、 residual values of induction.4.4 The ac half-wave sinusoidal-current excitation, as mea-sured in the ac exciting winding, is then increased to a newvalue, designated Hp(Table 2), which causes the ac inductionin the test specimen to rise to a new value which is designatedBp. A dc reverse-polarity ma
27、gnetic field strength is thenapplied. The opposing dc magnetic field strength resets the fluxor induction in the core material, between each half cycle of acmagnetization, to a value that provides the specified DB1induction change (Table 1). This dc excitation, designated H1,is the value required to
28、 reset past Brto a point that provides thespecified change in induction of DB1which is approximatelyequal to one third of 2 Bp. This value of H1has somecorrelation to the coercive field strength, Hc, of the material.TABLE 1 Standard Values of DB, DB1, and DB2for the Commonly Used MaterialsCore Mater

31、e of dc reverse biasing (H1+ DH) is designatedH2. It is the value of dc reverse biasing required to reset the fluxbetween ac magnetizing cycles to a value which provides thespecified total change in induction of DB2(Table 1) that isapproximately equal to two thirds of 2 Bp.4.6 From the change in dc
32、bias DH and the changes ininduction DB corresponding to the change between the H1andH2operating points, the core gain may be determined. It isusually reported as a DH value for the core. When required forspecial reasons, it may be reported in terms of core gain, G (see11.5).4.7 It is standard practi
33、ce to assign values to the change ofinduction DB1and DB2(Table 1). This in turn determines themagnitude of the H1and H2biasing values corresponding tothese changes of induction.4.8 The normal test specimen may have any size or shape.When used specifically to evaluate materials for core construc-tion
34、, it is limited in size, weight, and method of manufacture.4.9 Heat treatment appropriate to the core material and coreconstruction may be required before test.5. Significance and Use5.1 The method of excitation simulates, to a practicaldegree, the operation of a magnetic core in a self-saturatingma
35、gnetic amplifier. The properties measured are related to thequality of performance of the cores in magnetic amplifiers andare useful for the specification of materials for such cores.6. Apparatus (see Fig. 1)6.1 Sinusoidal Voltage SupplyThe source of excitationshall be an ac source of sinusoidal vol
36、tage which shall havesufficient power to magnetize the largest core to be examinedto the levels of excitation as specified in Table 2. Its harmonicdistortion under load shall be less than 3 %. Its frequencyshould be constant to within 1 % or less. Standard testfrequencies are 60, 400, and 1600 Hz.6.
37、2 Series Impedance, Z1, or Resistor, R1This impedanceshould provide a voltage drop much larger than the voltageappearing across the excitation winding. Then, the distortion ofcurrent waveform as a result of the nonlinear impedance of thecore will be minimized. It may be a power resistor for smallsiz
38、e cores. For larger cores, a series resonant circuit may beused, which reduces the voltage requirements of the powersource.The voltage across this impedance or a reactive elementin Z1must be greater than 25 times the average voltage inducedin the excitation turns, N1.6.3 Diodes (Note 2), D1and D1may
39、 be fast solid statedevices (Note 3), high-vacuum rectifiers, or Schottky rectifiers.NOTE 2During the interval between half-wave pulses, when theexcitation should be nominally zero, the average leakage current shall beless than 0.1 % of the peak value of excitation current during a pulse.TABLE 2 Sta

Its integrated value,
43、in ampere-seconds, at any test frequencyshall be limited to 1.0 % of the ampere-seconds of the exciting half-wave.6.4 The test fixture shall be composed of four sets ofwindings enclosing the core and a means of compensating forair-flux effect in induced voltage in N4.6.4.1 The exciting winding N1sha
44、ll contain as small anumber of turns as practical to limit the exciting-currentwaveform distortion (see 6.1).6.4.2 The B-coil, pickup winding, N4, may contain anyconvenient number of turns. This winding shall be maintainedin a fixed position in relation to the excitation windings toeliminate variati
45、ons in the air-cored inductive or capacitivecoupling between them. Compensation for such coupling maybe accomplished with the air-cored bucking transformer, T1.NOTE 4The coils of the test fixture, including the air-cored buckingtransformer, T1, if used, shall be initially adjusted such that the volt
46、agecoupling between the exciting and pickup windings will be minimizedwhen no specimen is in place, and maximum full-wave exciting currentfor a given-size core is applied. The cancellation will be consideredadequate when the flux voltmeter indicates the equivalent of 15 G 0.0015T or less for that si
47、ze core. The pickup circuit should be shielded fromstray fields, when this cannot be accomplished an adjustable coil may beused to buck out voltages picked up from external fields (see 10.1).6.4.3 The dc reset windings shall use a small number ofturns to help minimize the ac transformer loading of t
48、he testcore. The impedances, Z2and Z3, described in 6.9 and 11.5 alsohelp to limit this loading effect to acceptable values.6.5 Flux Voltmeter:6.5.1 The flux voltmeter must respond to the true averagevalue of the pickup-winding voltage. The average value of thevoltage waveform is directly proportion
49、al to the total change ofmagnetic flux in the core. The flux-voltmeter accuracy shall be1 % or better.NOTE 5For medium- or small-size cores, the ordinary rectifier acvoltmeters are not sensitive enough to accurately measure Bmax Br, andconventional average-responsive vacuum-tube voltmeters are subject toexcessive errors as a result of the extremely peaked nature of the voltagewaveform and to the high ratio of peak to average values. Therefore,special instruments must be used. Some typical schemes appear inAppendix X1.6.5.2 The input imped
