1. Introduction
With the rapid development of electronic technology, the number of electronic devices in use has increased exponentially, leading to a more complex electromagnetic environment. Electromagnetic disturbances can adversely affect the performance and functionality of electronic devices, potentially causing malfunctions, data loss, or even permanent damage. To address this issue, various EMC standards have been established worldwide, among which the IEC 61000 series is widely recognized and adopted.
IEC 61000-4-10 specifically focuses on damped oscillatory magnetic field immunity testing, defining the testing and measurement techniques for evaluating a device’s immunity to damped oscillatory magnetic fields. This type of disturbance is commonly encountered in real-world scenarios, such as those generated by switching operations in power systems, electrostatic discharges, and other electrical equipment. Therefore, conducting IEC 61000-4-10 Oscillatory Immunity Testing is essential for manufacturers to ensure their products can operate normally in the presence of such disturbances.

This paper will delve into the various aspects of the DOMF61000-10, highlighting its role in facilitating IEC 61000-4-10 Oscillatory Immunity Testing.
The primary purpose of IEC 61000-4-10 Oscillatory Immunity Testing is to assess the ability of electrical and electronic equipment to withstand damped oscillatory magnetic field disturbances. These disturbances can originate from a variety of sources, including but not limited to:
Switching of inductive loads in power systems, such as transformers and motors.
Electrostatic discharges (ESD) occurring near electronic devices.
Operation of high-frequency electrical equipment, such as radio transmitters and microwave ovens.
The standard applies to a wide range of electrical and electronic equipment, including household appliances, industrial control systems, medical devices, and automotive electronics. By conducting IEC 61000-4-10 Oscillatory Immunity Testing, manufacturers can identify potential vulnerabilities in their products and take appropriate measures to enhance their immunity, thereby improving the overall reliability and safety of the devices.
IEC 61000-4-10 Oscillatory Immunity Testing involves exposing the device under test (DUT) to a damped oscillatory magnetic field of specified characteristics. The damped oscillatory magnetic field is generated by a test generator and a coupling device, typically a single ring coil. The key parameters of the damped oscillatory magnetic field defined by the standard include:
Magnetic Field Strength: The maximum amplitude of the magnetic field, which determines the severity of the disturbance.
Oscillation Frequency: The frequency of the oscillatory component of the magnetic field, which affects the way the disturbance interacts with the DUT.
Rise Time: The time taken for the magnetic field to rise from a specified lower value to its maximum amplitude, influencing the transient response of the DUT.
Attenuation: The rate at which the amplitude of the oscillatory magnetic field decreases over time, ensuring that the disturbance is a damped oscillation rather than a continuous wave.
During the test, the DUT is placed in the vicinity of the coupling coil, and the damped oscillatory magnetic field is applied. The performance of the DUT is monitored under the influence of the disturbance to determine if it meets the specified immunity criteria. The criteria may include no degradation in performance, no functional failure, or no permanent damage to the DUT.

The working principle of the LISUN DOMF61000-10 Damped Oscillatory Magnetic Field Immunity Tester in conducting IEC 61000-4-10 Oscillatory Immunity Testing can be divided into the following key steps:
• DUT Placement: The device under test (DUT) is placed in the specified test position within the magnetic field generated by the single ring coil. The distance between the DUT and the coil is determined based on the requirements of IEC 61000-4-10 to ensure that the DUT is exposed to the correct magnetic field strength.
• Parameter Configuration: Using the big LCD touch screen of the DOMF61000-10, the operator selects the appropriate test parameters, including oscillation frequency (100kHz or 1MHz), magnetic field strength, pulse polarity, repeat frequency, burst width, and pulse interval. The built-in IEC standard test levels can be directly selected to simplify the setup process.
• System Calibration: Before starting the test, the tester may undergo a calibration process to ensure the accuracy of the generated magnetic field. This involves measuring the magnetic field strength at the test position using a calibrated magnetic field probe and adjusting the generator parameters if necessary.
Once the test setup is complete, the damped oscillating wave generator of the DOMF61000-10 produces an electrical signal with the specified characteristics. This signal is sent to the single ring coil, which converts the electrical energy into a magnetic field. The coil’s design ensures that the magnetic field is uniform in the test area and has the correct oscillation frequency, rise time, and attenuation as required by IEC 61000-4-10.
The damped oscillatory nature of the magnetic field is achieved by the generator’s internal circuitry, which causes the amplitude of the electrical signal (and thus the magnetic field) to decrease over time. The attenuation is controlled to ensure that the amplitude of the magnetic field drops to half of its first peak within the range of the fifth to tenth peak, as specified in the standard.
The generated damped oscillatory magnetic field is applied to the DUT for the specified burst width and at the selected repeat frequency. During the test, the performance of the DUT is closely monitored using appropriate measurement equipment. The monitoring may include checking the DUT’s output signals, functional status, and any indicators of malfunction or damage.
If the DUT operates normally without any degradation in performance, functional failure, or permanent damage during the test, it is considered to have passed the IEC 61000-4-10 Oscillatory Immunity Testing. If any issues are detected, the test parameters may be adjusted, or the DUT may need to be modified to improve its immunity before re-testing.
