Equipment for Hysteresis Loop for Inductor

AI Thread Summary
To obtain a hysteresis loop for an inductor, a suitable instrument is necessary, typically involving a test winding around the inductor. Creating a custom test winding can simplify the measurement process. It's also important to consult the datasheets of the inductors being tested, as they may provide specific test circuit information. Proper equipment can facilitate the measurement of the Flux Density versus Magnetizing Force relationship. Overall, with the right setup and resources, obtaining a hysteresis loop is feasible.

What instrument would I need to get a hysteresis loop (Flux Density vs Magnetizing Force) for an inductor? Is it something that can be easily obtained given the proper equipment?

Thanks!

That's a good question. It would be easiest if you could wind your own test winding around the inductor...would you be able to do that?

Check out the datasheets for the typical inductors that you want to test -- do the datasheets show any test circuit?
 

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
