Electronic Fluxmeter EF 14
only a few ohms and can therefore be neglected. In this case the coil resistance in the coil menu
can simply be set to 0. If the coil resistance exceeds about 100 Ω it should be measured and
entered.
Then the EF 14 calculates the magnetic flux using the formula
kΩ100
kΩ100R

where
is the flux after and
the flux before resistance correction. The user can apply this
formula to calculate the output voltage at the analog output.
5.2 Measurement of the Maxima of Magnetizing Impulses
Main application of the Peak function in DC mode is the measurement of the maxima of
magnetizing impulses.
A magnetizing pulse is generated using a capacitor discharge. It causes a high current pulse in a
connected magnetizing coil or fixture that generates the required magnetic field. The field
strength can be measured with a coil.
Caution!
If a coil is exposed to fast changing, high magnetic fields, high voltages can
be induced. These can destroy the coil itself or a connected measuring
instrument.
The induced voltage u is calculated as follows:
B
NAu
d
.
Here are NA the area turns of the coil, B the flux density and t the time.
Thus the acceptable change of the flux density, dB/dt, is limited by the maximum input voltage
of the fluxmeter, u
max
= 60 V, and from the area turns of the coil.
The change of flux density can be approximated by the quotient of maximum flux density and
rise time of the magnetizing impulse,
