Scope1.1 This test method provides a means for determination ofthe impedance permeability (z) of ferroma
3、gnetic materialsunder the condition of sinusoidal current (sinusoidal H) exci-tation. Test specimens in the form of laminated toroidal cores,tape-wound toroidal cores, and link-type laminated coreshaving uniform cross sections and closed flux paths (no airgaps) are used. The method is intended as a
4、means fordetermining the magnetic performance of ferromagnetic striphaving a thickness less than or equal to 0.025 in. 0.635 mm.1.2 This test method shall be used in conjunction with thoseapplicable paragraphs in Practice A34/A34M.1.3 The values and equations stated in customary (cgs-emuand inch-pou

8、ic Testing3. Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThe terms and symbols used in this testmethod are defined in Terminology A340.4. Significance and Use4.1 The permeability determined by this method is theimpedance permeability. Impedance permeability is the ratio ofthe peak value of flux density (Bmax) to the
9、assumed peakmagnetic field strength (Hz) without regard to phase. Ascompared to testing under sinusoidal flux (sinusoidal B)conditions, the permeabilities determined by this method arenumerically lower since, for a given test signal frequency, therate of flux change (dB/dt) is higher.4.2 This test m
10、ethod is suitable for impedance permeabilitymeasurements at very low magnetic inductions at powerfrequencies (50 to 60 Hz) to moderate inductions below thepoint of maximum permeability of the material (the knee of themagnetization curve) or until there is visible distortion of thecurrent waveform. T
11、he lower limit is a function of sample area,secondary turns, and the sensitivity of the flux-reading voltme-ter used. At higher inductions, measurements of flux-generatedvoltages that are appreciably distorted mean that the flux hasappreciable harmonic frequency components. The upper limitis given b
12、y the availability of pure sinusoidal current, which isa function of the power source. In addition, a large ratio ($10)of the total series resistance of the primary circuit to theprimary coil impedance is required. With proper test apparatus,this test method is suitable for use at frequencies up to
13、1 MHz.4.3 This test method is suitable for design, specificationacceptance, service evaluation, quality control, and researchuse.5.

Procedure6.1 Specimen PreparationAfter determining the mass anddimensions of the test specimen, it should be enc
24、losed in asuitable insulating case to prevent intimate contact between itand the primary and secondary windings. This will alsominimize the stress introduced by winding.

A uniformlydistributed primary winding (N1) of insulated wire shall beapplied on top of the secondary winding and be of sufficientdiameter
28、 to conduct the highest intended magnetizing currentsafely without significant heating. Twisted leads or biconductorcable shall be used to connect the specimen windings to the testapparatus.6.2 Calculation of Test SignalsTesting is done either asspecified values of flux density (Bmax) or magnetic fi

Before testing, the rms magnetizing currents orvoltages generated in the secondary shall be calculated usingthe equations found in 7.3 and 7.4 or 8.3 and 8.4.6.3 DemagnetizationAfter connecting the primary andsecondary windings to the apparatus, the test specimen shall bedemagnetiz
30、ed by applying a magnetizing current sufficientlylarge to create a magnetic field strength greater than ten timesthe coercivity of the test specimen. The magnetizing currentthen shall be slowly and smoothly reduced to zero to demag-netize the test specimen. The frequency used should be thesame as th
31、e test frequency.6.4 MeasurementThe magnetizing current shall be care-fully increased until the lowest value of either magnetizingcurrent (if measuring at a specified value of magnetic fieldstrength) or flux density (if measuring at a specified value offlux density) is obtained. Both the magnetizing
32、 current andsecondary voltage shall be recorded. The magnetizing currentis then increased to the next test point and the process repeateduntil all test points have been measured. It is imperative thatmeasurements be made in order of increasing magnetic fieldstrength or flux density. When a prescribe
33、d value of magneticfield strength or flux density has been accidentally exceededduring the test, the specimen must be demagnetized and testingresumed at that point.6.4.1 At the conclusion of testing, the magnetizing currentshall be reduced to zero and the specimen removed from theFIG. 1 Schematic Ci
