Data Sheet

SPECIFICATIONS
DC - 500 kHzUsable frequency range
30 AContinuous nominal coil current
12 turnsPer coil
Defined by geometry

A calculable field.
A traceable measurement.

Magnetic field strength is proportional to coil current. Coil geometry, the number of turns and the applied current determine the resulting field, allowing the field measurement to be traced to a current measurement or the voltage drop across a known resistor.

The field depends on coil spacing and the position within the test volume. Use the reference spacings in the specifications and the field distribution data in the datasheet when selecting your setup.

Plan your test setup

Match the field to your application.

Continuous operation

The nominal coil current is 30 A continuous. The specified nominal magnetic field is 1288 A/m continuous. Field values apply at the stated reference spacing.

Short-duration operation

The maximum coil current is 60 A (5 min.). Observe the stated time limit and provide adequate ventilation. The frequency range alone does not imply that maximum current or field is available at every frequency.

Where specified, coil distances refer to the coil centers. Continuous and short-duration limits are listed separately. Standards references retain the designations used in the source documents.

Installation and operating safety

Read the supplied datasheet before use. Switch off the complete system before making or removing connections and do not touch terminals during operation. Observe all voltage, current and time limits. High currents heat the coils; maintain adequate air circulation. Keep unintended magnetic field sources and magnetic materials away from the test volume.
