– 6 – IEC 60404-16:2018 © IEC 2018 INTRODUCTION A method of measuring the magnetic properties of Fe-based amorphous strip is required to grade what is regarded as a promising material to reduce energy loss in transformer cores and, consequently, to reduce global warming. Fe-based amorphous strip is produced by a rapidly-solidifying, direct-casting process. The strip is intended primarily for the construction of wound cores of distribution transformers for commercial power frequency (50 Hz and 60 Hz) applications. After appropriate heat treatment, the strip exhibits a significantly lower value of specific total loss compared to grain-oriented electrical steel strip. It is associated with low hysteresis loss due to low magnetic anisotropy and low eddy current loss due to high resistivity and reduced thickness. However, significant deterioration can occur by applying stress on the strip due to the large magnetostriction and low magnetic anisotropy characteristics of the material. Therefore, a method of measurement of the magnetic properties of Fe-based amorphous strip by means of a single sheet tester (SST) is required, independent of IEC 60404-3 [1]1, which is specified for electrical steel sheets. The almost exclusively applied wattmeter method is used also in this standard. However, the widely used version with the determination of the magnetic field strength from the magnetizing current (“MC method”) is not applicable to this kind of material, because the influence of the yokes on the loss measurement is significantly greater for the thinner and magnetically softer test specimen of this material. Thus, the wattmeter method with H coil mode (“H coil method”) has been included for the magnetic field determination. International round robin tests of SST and Fe-based amorphous test specimens have been carried out, resulting in a suitable configuration of the SST for amorphous material. The single-yoke concept was adopted in order to avoid the effect of the impact of the upper yoke caused by the high magneto-elastic sensitivity of the material.

MAGNETIC MATERIALS –
Part 16: Methods of measurement of the magnetic properties of
Fe-based amorphous strip by means of a single sheet tester
1 Scope This part of IEC 60404 is applicable to Fe-based amorphous strips specified in IEC 60404-8-11 for the measurement of AC magnetic properties at frequencies up to 400 Hz. The object of this part is to define the general principles and technical details of the measurement of the magnetic properties of Fe-based amorphous strips by means of a single sheet tester. The single sheet tester is applicable to test specimens obtained from Fe-based amorphous strips of any quality. The AC magnetic characteristics are determined for a sinusoidal induced voltage, for specified peak values of magnetic polarization and for a specified frequency. The measurements are made at an ambient temperature of (23 ± 5) °C on test specimens which have first been demagnetized. NOTE 1 The single sheet tester specified in this document is appropriate for other materials which have magnetic properties and physical characteristics similar to those of Fe-based amorphous strip, such as nano-crystalline soft magnetic strip. The single sheet tester for electrical steel sheets is specified in IEC 60404-3.
NOTE 2 Throughout this document the term “magnetic polarization” is used as described in IEC 60050-121. In some standards of the IEC 60404 series, the term “magnetic flux density” is used. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

– 8 – IEC 60404-16:2018 © IEC 2018 4 General principles 4.1 Principle of the method This document applies the wattmeter method with H coil mode for the determination of the magnetic field strength (“H coil method”). The flux closure is made by a single “U”-shaped yoke. The test specimen comprises a Fe-based amorphous strip, which is placed inside the following two windings: – an exterior primary winding (magnetizing winding); – an interior secondary winding (induced voltage winding). A H coil that detects the magnetic field strength at the surface of the test specimen is placed under the test specimen. The flux closure is made by a single vertical “U” shaped yoke, the cross-section of which is very large compared with that of the test specimen (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Schematic diagram of the test apparatus NOTE 1 Double yokes are unsuitable because the influence of the loading of an upper yoke on the test specimen is significant due to the large magnetostriction of the material. However, the upper yoke can be placed on the lower yoke in the absence of the test specimen to demagnetize yokes and to measure the power loss in the yokes. The circuit diagram of Figure 2 illustrates the principle of the wattmeter method with H coil mode. The single sheet tester and the measuring instruments shall be connected as shown in Figure 2. NOTE 2 Figure 2 also sets out the fundamentals of the widely used digital sampling technique, where the instrument functions are realised partly, or fully, through evaluating software. For the application of the digital sampling technique, see 4.6 and Annex B. Figure 2 does not show the feed-back circuit for the waveform control of the induced secondary voltage (see 4.4 and Annex C).

NOTE Nominal widths of Fe-based amorphous strip are 142,2 mm, 170,2 mm and 213,4 mm (see IEC 60404-8-11). The length of the test specimen shall be no less than 280 mm, which is the outside dimension of the distance across the pole faces of the yoke. Although the part of the specimen situated outside the pole faces has no great influence on the measurement, this part shall not be longer than is necessary to facilitate insertion and removal of the test specimen. The test specimen shall be cut to length from Fe-based amorphous strip without the formation of excessive burrs or mechanical distortion. The test specimen shall be plane and rectangular. The test specimen shall be prepared by a magnetic anneal in a DC magnetic field directed parallel to the casting direction according to the instructions of the manufacturer. The test specimen shall be flat during the treatment. Care shall be taken in handling the test specimen after the treatment in order to avoid raising fragments of the strip or creating mechanical stresses in the test specimen because the material is usually brittle after heat treatment. 4.3 Test apparatus 4.3.1 General The test apparatus comprises the windings and the yoke (see Figure 1).

– 10 – IEC 60404-16:2018 © IEC 2018 Care shall be taken to ensure that temperature changes are kept below a level likely to produce stress in the test specimen due to the distribution of thermal expansion or contraction. 4.3.2 Yoke The yoke is in the form of a letter U built by using soft ferrite (see Figure 3). It should have a low magnetic remanence, a low reluctance and a specific total loss as low as possible. NOTE 1 Lower quality of yoke materials can lead to poor measurement quality and to misleading results of the magnetic properties of the test specimen accordingly (see Annex A).
Dimensions in millimetres
Figure 3 – Yoke dimensions The yoke shall have pole faces having a width of 20 mm ± 1 mm. The two pole faces of the yoke shall be as flat as possible and coplanar to within 0,1 mm. Also, the yoke shall be rigid in order to avoid creating mechanical stresses in the test specimen. The height of the yoke shall be between 80 mm and 120 mm. The yoke shall have a width of 220 mm ± 1 mm and an inside length of 240 mm ±=1 mm (see Figure 3). Other yoke dimensions may be used provided that comparability of the results can be demonstrated. NOTE 2 The power loss dissipated in the yoke can be measured by making a magnetic closure circuit consisting of the yoke and a matching upper yoke that are wound with primary and secondary windings; 25 turns are sufficient for each winding. There shall be a specimen support, which is made of non-conductive and non-magnetic materials, between the vertical limbs of the yokes. The surface of the support, on which the test specimen is supported, shall be in the same plane with the pole faces so that the test specimen can contact the pole faces with minimum air gaps. NOTE 3 If there are steps between the surface of the test support plane and the pole faces, deteriorated magnetic properties are measured. 4.3.3 Windings The primary winding shall be at least 230 mm in length. The secondary winding shall be 120 mm ± 1 mm in length and centred in the primary winding. The primary and secondary windings shall be wound on a non-conducting, non-magnetic and rectangular former. The dimensions of the former shall be as follows: – length for winding: 235 mm ± 5 mm; – internal height: 3 mm ± 1 mm; – external height: ≤ 15 mm; the value of 12 mm is recommended.

The primary winding can be made up of a single continuous and uniform winding taking up the whole length. One example of the winding is made up of 220 turns of copper wire 1 mm in diameter taking up the whole length, wound in one or more layers. The secondary winding shall be made up of a single continuous and uniform winding taking up the length of 120 mm ± 1 mm, wound in one layer. The number of turns on the secondary winding depends on the characteristics of the measuring instruments. The H coil shall have the same length as the secondary winding and be centred in the primary winding. The H coil shall be wound on a non-conducting, non-magnetic and rectangular plate. The width of the plate shall be 120 mm ± 1 mm and the height of the plate shall be 3 mm ± 0,2 mm.
The H coil shall be embedded in the specimen support plate and the distance between the upper surface of the support plate and the upper surface of the H coil shall be 1 mm ± 0,2 mm.
The area-turns of the H coil shall be calibrated in a uniform field using a solenoid coil of a diameter and length large enough to obtain a uniform field over the volume of the H coil. 4.3.4 Air flux compensation Compensation of the effect of air flux on the induced secondary voltage shall be made. This can be achieved, for example, by the numerical air flux compensation method (see Clause B.4). 4.3.5 Magnetic shielding A simple magnetic shielding of the single sheet tester is recommended to weaken sufficiently the effects of geomagnetic and other external magnetic fields in order to avoid unexpected magnetization of the test apparatus (see Annex A). 4.4 Power supply The power supply should consist of a computer-controlled arbitrary signal generator and a power amplifier, or an instrument integrating both of these functions (see Figure 4). The arbitrary signal generator shall synthesize a signal of magnetizing waveform, amplitude and frequency data, which are programmed externally. A low pass filter should be inserted between the arbitrary signal generator and the power amplifier to prevent aliasing at the measuring instruments. The frequency shall be measured with an accuracy of ±0,1 % or better. The waveform of the induced secondary voltage shall be maintained as sinusoidal as possible. It is preferable not only to maintain the form factor of the induced secondary voltage to within 1,111 with a relative tolerance of ±1 %, but also to suppress harmonic contents in the induced secondary voltage to as low as possible. This can be achieved by various means, using analogue feedback control or by digital means described in Annex C. The power amplifier shall be of low internal i
