ANTICIPATING THE CURRENT THAT WILL BE OBTAINED

A large number of variables normally intervene in the

generation of currents. Some are common to any

injection system, such as, for instance: length and cross-

sectional area of the connection cables; load impedance

or the system power supply voltage and others are unique

to the Raptor system, such as: the number of slave units;

the number of turns wound in the pass-through hole; etc.

To make it easier to give a prior estimation of the current it will obtain, the Raptor system

incorporates a powerful calculator as part of the Raptor-HH console control application.

Thanks to this system, a lot of trial and error time, or using an over- or under-

dimensioned configuration will be avoided. This calculator is also available as a

standalone application executable in PC with Windows O.S.

This has been designed in simulator format, in other words, you enter the data of the

components available or which may be available and the calculator will inform you, at all

times, of the current you will obtain with a considerable degree of accuracy. You can

vary any parameter at any time and the results area (on the second screen) will vary

accordingly.

You can carry out the calculations, only using the console, without the need for other

units, before moving to the test place.

Data entry

The calculator has two screens:

The system supply voltage and the frequency must be

entered in the first screen.

As the resistivity of copper changes considerably, you are

given the chance to choose the system temperature, so that

the results are more accurate. If you are considering

carrying out spaced tests, choose Cold; otherwise, if you are

going to carry out long-lasting or very repetitive tests, choose

Hot.

If you know the approximate load impedance, enter it. If not,

set to 0. The maximum current in this type of test normally

depends on the actual system, more than on the load, which is usually very low.

You may also save the data entered MS and recover them

MR in three memory positions.
