K. Matsubara et al., EFFECT OF STAIRCASE OUTPUT VOLTAGE WAVE-FORM OF A D A CONVERTER ON IRON LOSSES MEASURED USING AN H COIL/, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 160, 1996, pp. 185-186
When the digital technique using a D/A converter is employed for iron
loss measurements of electrical steels using single sheet testers with
the H coil, iron losses are affected by the staircase output voltage
waveform of the D/A converter. The effect of the staircase voltage on
the accuracy of iron losses is examined quantitatively and two methods
for reducing the effect are investigated.
