Equipment for Hysteresis Loop for Inductor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

To obtain a hysteresis loop (Flux Density vs Magnetizing Force) for an inductor, a test winding around the inductor is essential. Users should refer to the datasheets of the inductors they intend to test, as these often provide valuable information regarding the necessary test circuits. The discussion emphasizes the importance of custom test setups to accurately measure hysteresis characteristics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of inductor properties and behavior
  • Familiarity with winding techniques for test circuits
  • Knowledge of hysteresis loop analysis
  • Access to relevant datasheets for inductors
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to wind a test winding for inductors
  • Explore hysteresis loop measurement techniques
  • Review datasheets for specific inductor models
  • Investigate test circuit designs for inductor testing
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, researchers in magnetics, and anyone involved in inductor testing and analysis will benefit from this discussion.

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?
