The purpose of this paper is to experimentally verify the current limi
ting characteristics of a two material magnetic device consisting of a
ferrite and permanent magnet material. A resonant pulsed excitation s
ource and a 60 Hz ac source are used to test the characteristics of th
e device. The experiments confirm that there is a saturated and unsatu
rated inductance operating region and a current limiting and loss of c
urrent limiting kneepoint.
