To facilitate switch mode power supplies andDC-DC converters are becoming smaller and more efficient, with their switching frequencies increasing. As the frequency rises, transformers and inductors used in these devices typically have higher losses. The cause of these losses is the core material's core loss within these components, mainly categorized into hysteresis loss and eddy current loss. Sometimes, the heat generated by these losses can alter the magnetic properties of the core material itself, leading to severe damage. This can lead to serious issues. BH analyzers are measuring instruments that can measure core loss over a wide frequency range, from low frequencies in soft magnetic materials to MHz high frequencies.

BH Curve Measurement

Magnetic saturation is crucial for magnetic materials, depending on their specific applications. Magnetic saturation can be measured by assessingThe BH curve determines this. If the BH curve becomes saturated under the required operating conditions, it can no longer be expected to function as an inductor.
The BH Analyzer is a measuring instrument capable of high-precision measurement of a wide range of BH curves from low-frequency to MHz frequency range of soft magnetic materials under all conditions.

Permeability measurement

Core materials used in motors, actuators, and relays include silicon steel, soft iron, and permalloy. As is well-known, the magnetic properties of these materials can change due to processing and heat treatment.The BH Analyzer is a measuring instrument that can assess the magnetic properties of these parts (including permeability from low-frequency MHz ranges to high frequencies) and provides data on the effects of processing and heat treatment on the material.
