Soft Magnetic Material AC Testing System
Description:SeeweTek Soft Magnetic Material AC Testing System can automatically measure AC magnetic parameters of soft magnetic materials such as FeSiAl, FeAl, soft ferrite, permalloy, amorphous/nanocrystalline, and silicon steel under continuous frequencies from 10 Hz to 3 MHz: Ps, Bm, Hm, Ss, μa, δ, Br, and Hc. It can also calculate dynamic magnetic parameters such as μ′, μ″, μL, μR, Q, and AL under specific conditions. The testing system uses digital signal synthesis and processing technology, consisting of a high-speed broadband bipolar power amplifier, a high-precision broadband power analyzer, an automatic power adjustment module, and an industrial computer to form an automatic testing system. It is equipped with dedicated measurement software to realize various complex magnetic property tests and data management. The soft magnetic material AC testing system is equipped with an automatic power adjustment module, with a maximum excitation power of up to 500 VA, achieving wide bandwidth and high power, effectively solving the problems of high sample preparation requirements and narrow test range under high-frequency conditions. The system design complies with standards such as GB/T3658-2008, GB/T19346.1-2017, SJ20966-2006, and IEC60404-6.
