1. Introduction
With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic equipment is widely used in various fields such as industry, communication, medical treatment, and aerospace. However, the surrounding electromagnetic environment is becoming more and more complex, and impulse magnetic fields, as a common electromagnetic interference source, may cause malfunctions, performance degradation, or even permanent damage to electronic equipment. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to evaluate the ability of electronic equipment to resist impulse magnetic field interference through scientific testing methods.
The Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method is a standardized testing procedure used to assess the immunity of electrical and electronic equipment to impulse magnetic fields. It simulates the impulse magnetic field environment that equipment may encounter in actual use, so as to detect whether the equipment can work normally under such interference. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results, a high – performance and high – reliability test instrument is essential. The LISUN IMF61000 – 9 Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Tester is such a device specially designed for the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method. It fully complies with international standards such as IEC61000 – 4 – 9, EN61000 – 4 – 9, and GB/T17626.9, providing strong support for the effective implementation of the test method.
2. Principles of Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method
The core of the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method is to simulate the impulse magnetic field generated by events such as lightning strikes, switching operations of power systems, and electrostatic discharges, and to apply this magnetic field to the tested electronic equipment to observe its working status. The impulse magnetic field has the characteristics of short duration, high intensity, and fast rise time, which can induce transient voltages and currents in the circuits of the equipment, thus affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
In the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method, the key parameters to be controlled include the waveform of the impulse magnetic field, magnetic field strength, rise time, duration time, etc. These parameters must be strictly in accordance with the requirements of relevant standards to ensure the comparability and validity of the test results. For example, the standard specifies that the current waveform of the impulse magnetic field should be 6.4/16μs, where 6.4μs is the rise time and 16μs is the duration time. The magnetic field strength should be adjustable within a certain range to simulate different interference intensities.
The LISUN IMF61000 – 9 Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Tester is carefully designed to meet the characteristics and requirements of the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method, with the following outstanding characteristics:
The tester fully complies with IEC61000 – 4 – 9, EN61000 – 4 – 9, and GB/T17626.9 standards. This ensures that the tests conducted using this instrument are in line with international norms, and the test results are recognized globally. Compliance with standards is the basis for the application of the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method, as it allows for consistent testing across different laboratories and regions.
It adopts an imported programmable high – voltage power supply, which provides stable and reliable power output. The intelligent control system enables precise adjustment and control of various test parameters. Operators can easily set parameters such as magnetic field strength, pulse interval, and number of pulses through the built – in interface, ensuring that the test process strictly follows the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method.
The tester is equipped with software and can be remotely controlled via an RS232 communication port. This feature is very useful in automated testing systems, allowing operators to control the test process from a remote location, improving testing efficiency and reducing manual intervention. It also facilitates the integration of the tester into a larger test network, making the implementation of the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method more flexible.
The modular design makes maintenance and upgrades easy. If a certain module fails, it can be replaced independently without affecting the entire instrument. At the same time, when there is a need to upgrade the performance of the tester to adapt to new versions of the Impulse Magnetic Field Immunity Test Method or new test requirements, only the relevant modules need to be upgraded, which saves costs and extends the service life of the instrument.
