The menu offers different test routines for power frequency magnetic field testing.
Main menu ac powered magnetic field
The Magnetic Field menu offers different test routines for pulsed magnetic testing.
Quick Start
Easy and fast online-operation with the phenomenon magnetic-field. In this menu the user can operate all test
manually with online change the most parameters during a test.
Standard
The operator can select between various preprogrammed test routines as required in different standards
Extended Tests
The operator can select between various preprogrammed test routines which helps to accelerate testing and
which are very helpful especially during design.
User test routines
The user defined library where all created magnetic field tests are stored.
Easy Link
Link files library created during the actual session. The user can easy save a test into the Easy Link library. After
switch off the Equipment all Easy Link tests are deleted. Use “SAVE AS USER TEST” for definitive save the test.
Warning
For magnetic field testing the power mains input at PF1 shall be
disconnected.
Test setup
The voltage V is adjusted with a variac as long as the required antenna current is available and the related H field
is generated in the center of the magnetic field antenna.
The variac NX1-260-16 is controlled automatically via the test generator. Any equivalent variac available in the
lab can be used to control the current manually. Please take care that the variac has a sufficient current
capability.
