Cores made of soft magnetic materials - Measuring methods -- Part 2: Magnetic properties at low excitation level

This part of IEC 62044 applies to magnetic cores, mainly made of magnetic oxides or metallic
powders, used at low excitation level in inductors and transformers for telecommunication
equipment and electronic devices employing similar techniques.
Some of the methods described in this part of IEC 62044 may also be suitable for magnetic
cores used in other components.
This part of IEC 62044 gives guidance for the drafting of those parts of specifications for
magnetic cores that are concerned with measuring methods for magnetic and electric core
properties. This part of IEC 62044 is limited to the general principles to be followed for
various possible test methods and sets out the factors to be taken into account when deciding
on the description of the test method to be included in the specification.
NOTE All the formulae in this part of IEC 62044 use basic SI units. When multiples or submultiples are used, the
appropriate power of 10 should be introduced. The conversion factor for inductances and inductance factors is as
follows: 1 H = 109 nH.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

6 General precautions for methods involving permeability measurements
6.1 Parameters involved
The effective permeability of a core depends upon many factors, among which are the
magnetic history, time, temperature, field strength, mechanical pressure, frequency of
measuring current, core geometry and position of the measuring coil. Various methods
described in this standard single out one of these factors at a time, for example, time or
temperature, and precautions during these measurements should be directed towards
eliminating the influence of all other factors. For example, a clamping device should be such
that the pressure remains constant in time and with temperature, so that the measuring result
is not influenced by changing pressure.
6.2 Mounting of cores consisting of more than one part
The mounting of cores shall be in accordance with IEC 62044-1.
7 General precautions for loss measurement at low flux density
7.1 Contributory losses
At low flux density (i.e. within the Rayleigh region), the loss measured on a core by means of
a coil or other coupling device is due to a number of causes; some may be inherent in the
core itself, some in the coupling device and some in the connection between the coupling
device and the measuring instrument. For measurements with coils, the following contributory
losses can be distinguished: core loss; d.c. coil loss; Iosses due to skin effect and proximity
effect; dielectric loss in the coil; Ioss in connecting wires and loss in any associated
component (for example, resonating capacitor).
An attempt should be made to isolate the core loss from the total loss measured, either by
correction or by choosing the conditions so as to make the other contributory losses negligible.
The d.c. coil loss and the loss in any associated component can be measured separately; the
other contributory losses may be either calculated or determined experimentally.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

62044-2  IEC:2005 – 19 –
The determination of the core loss does not present undue difficulties for ferrite cores without
an air-gap or with a very small air-gap (for example, toroids and shaped cores without
intentional air-gap) because, with a suitably designed coil, the core loss is then appreciably
higher than any other of the contributory losses.
This may not be the case for loss measurement on gapped cores for which it may be difficult
to obtain a sufficiently accurate result for the core loss alone.
Two methods may then be followed.
a) Measure the loss factor with gapless core and calculate the loss in the gapped core.
NOTE It is not permissible to measure the loss factor on an ungapped core having a geometry different from
that of the gapped core, for example, on a toroid of the same material, since the eddy-current core loss
strongly depends upon the core geometry. However, the measurement on cores with a centre-hole wound as a
toroid is acceptable.
b) Make no attempt to separate core and coil losses but compare the combined loss of the
core and the measuring coil with the results obtained from similar measurements on other
cores using a coil of identical construction and having the same d.c. resistance.
The best policy is to obtain these measuring coils from the same source or at least according
to the same specification, which should include the d.c. resistance value of the (empty) coil.
7.2 Mounting
Coupling between the stray field of the core and extraneous objects shall be avoided.
Connections between the measuring coil or other coupling device and the measuring
instrument shall be short, direct and so fixed that movement of the specimen cannot cause
additional error. It is also advisable to twist the connection leads to make electromagnetic
fields induced in adjacent parts partly counteract each other.
Cores of more than one part that assemble around the measuring coil shall in general be
clamped as specified in Clause 4 of IEC 62044-1.
NOTE 1 Regarding the clamping force for tan δ, η and THD measurement, it is recommended that the clamping
B F
2
force be kept equal to 0,2 N/mm , with a relative tolerance of ± 10 % and to apply the force only in a direction
perpendicular to the mating surface.
NOTE 2 Regarding the clamping force for A , α , D and Z measurement, it is recommended that the clamping
L F F N
2 2
force be maintained in the range 0,6 N/mm through 1,0 N/mm for cores for which the effective cross-sectional
2
area (A ) is less than 50 mm and at 50 N, with a relative tolerance of ±10 %, for cores with an effective cross-
e
2
sectional area (A ) greater than 50 mm .
e
The positioning of the measuring coil on the core shall be as described in 9.3.
8 Magnetic conditioning
To arrive at a well-defined and reproducible magnetic state of a core before the measure-
ments, magnetic conditioning shall be carried out in accordance with Clause 5 of IEC 62044-1.

9 Inductance measurement
9.1 General
Clause 9 provides general instructions for the measurement of inductance of inductor and
transformer windings, without going into details of the method, which depends upon the
electrical instrument used for the measurement.
Three measurement purposes should be distinguished:
a) to obtain the absolute value of the inductance parameter of the core;
b) to obtain the dependence of the inductance value under certain conditions;
c) to apply results of measurements in equations determining the magnetic permeability of
the core material for specific conditions.
9.2 Determination of the test signal
1
AC magnetic property analysers are used to make inductance measurements. The capability
of the equipment shall be such that it can provide a sinusoidal a.c. signal with a selectable
frequency and either a selectable voltage or selectable current. The test signal provided by
this equipment has limitations for the magnitude of the voltage and the current. The upper
limit for a.c. voltage for this type of equipment is typically between 1 V and 20 V .
r.m.s. r.m.s.
The a.c. current limit for this type of equipment is typically 0,010 A and 0,020 A .
r.m.s. r.m.s.
Measurements are made using the series mode unless the parallel mode is specified.
The accuracy of the recommended measurement equipment varies as a function of
impedance or inductance level at different frequencies. An impedance level in the range 50 Ω
to 1 000 Ω is typically required to obtain the required levels of voltage and current. The
desired accuracy of the test equipment shall be verified for specific impedance levels at
different frequencies.
The frequency of the measuring current and the peak flux density shall be stated.
NOTE The peak flux density in a core, B, also called the a.c. flux density, is calculated from:
2U
B = (6)
2π × f × N × A
e
where
B is expressed in Tesla (T);
U is the r.m
