Annex D
(informative)
Digital sampling methods for the determination
of the magnetic properties
D.1 General
The digital sampling method is an advanced technique that is becoming almost exclusively
applied to the electrical part of the measurement procedure of this standard. It is
characterized by the digitalization of the secondary voltage, U (t), the voltage drop across the
non-inductive precision resistor in series with the primary winding (see Figures 4 and 6),
U (t), and the evaluation of the data for the determination of the magnetic properties of the
test specimen. For this purpose, instantaneous values of these voltages having index j, u
2j
and u respectively, are sampled and held simultaneously from the time-dependent voltage
1j
functions during a narrow and equidistant time period each by sample-and-hold circuits. They
are then immediately converted to digital values by analog-to-digital converters (ADC). The
data pairs sampled over one or more periods together with the specimen and the set-up
parameters, provide the complete information for one measurement. This data set enables
computer processing for the determination of all magnetic properties required in this standard.
The digital sampling method may be applied to the measurement procedures which are
described in the main part of this standard. The block diagram in Figure 4 applies equally to
the analogue methods and the digital sampling method; the digital sampling method allows all
functions of the measurement equipments in Figure 4 to 6 to be realized by a combined
system of a data acquisition equipment and software. The control of the sinusoidal waveform
of the secondary voltage can also be realized by a digital method. However, the purpose and
procedure of this technique are different from those of this annex and are not treated here.
More information can be found in [3] and [4].
This annex is helpful in understanding the impact of the digital sampling method on the
precision achievable by the methods of this standard. This is particularly important because
ADC circuits, transient recorders and supporting software are easily available thus
encouraging one to build one’s own wattmeter. The digital sampling method can offer low
uncertainty, but it leads to large errors if improperly used.
D.2 Technical details and requirements
The principle of the digital sampling method is the discretization of voltage and time, i.e. the
replacement of the infinitesimal time interval dt by the finite time interval Δt:
T 1 1
(D.1)
Δt = = =
n f ⋅ n f
s
where
Δt is the time interval between the sampled points, in seconds;
T is the length of the period of the magnetization, in seconds;
n is the number of instantaneous values sampled over one period;
f is the frequency of the magnetization, in hertz;
f is the sampling frequency, in points per seconds.
s
60404-3 Amend. 2 © IEC:2009 – 5 –
In order to achieve lower uncertainties, the length of the period of the magnetization divided
by the time interval between the sampled points, i.e. the ratio f /f, should be an integer
s
(Nyquist condition [7]) and the sampling frequency, f , should be greater than twice the input
s
signal bandwidth.
According to an average-sensing voltmeter, the peak value of the flux density can be
calculated by the sum of the u values sampled over one period as follows:

The calculation of the specific total loss is carried out by point-by-point multiplication of the u
2j
and u values and summation over one period as follows :

winding (see Figure 6), in ohms;
U is the voltage drop across the non-inductive precision resistor R, in volts;
U is the secondary voltage, in volts;
n is the number of instantaneous values sampled over one period;
j is the index of instantaneous values;
l is the conventional effective magnetic path length, in metres (l = 0,45 m; for

Annex B);

The pairs of values, u and u , can then be processed by a computer or, for real time
2j 1j
processing, by a digital signal processor (DSP) using a sufficiently fast digital multiplier and
adder without intermediate storage being required. Keeping the Nyquist condition is possible
only where the sampling frequency f and the frequency f of the magnetization are derived
s
from a common high frequency clock and thus, have an integer ratio f /f. In that case, U (t)
s
and U (t) may be scanned using 128 samples per period with sufficient accuracy. This figure
is, according to the Shannon theorem, determined by the highest relevant frequency in the
st
H(t) signal, which is normally not higher than that of the 41 harmonic [5]. However, some
commercial data acquisition equipment cannot be synchronized with the frequency of the
magnetization and, as a consequence, the ratio f /f is not an integer, i.e. the Nyquist condition
s
is not met. In that case, the sampling frequency must be considerably higher (500 samples
per period or more) in order to keep the deviation of the true period length from the nearest
time of sampled point small. Keeping the Nyquist condition becomes a decisive advantage in
the case of higher frequency applications (for instance at 400 Hz which is within the scope of
this standard). The use of a low-pass anti-aliasing filter [7] is recommended in order to
eliminate irrelevant higher frequency components which would otherwise interact with the
digital sampling process producing aliasing noise.
