TABLE OF UNIQUENESS
The Only Universal SST Existing GO-steel NO-steel amorphous ribbon (AR)
16 2/3 Hz - 10 kHz up to 1.9 T
Lowest Error Numbers repeatability <<1% reproducibility <1%
Lowest Absolute Uncertainty estimated 2% for 50 Hz, for GO steel
Optimum Sample Size representative length 50cm, width 17 cm
Most Advanced Design amorphous single yoke, giant sealed H-coil
precise, automatically manufactured sensor system
Closest To New Standards IEC SST with H-coil for electric steel / AR
Best Practical Characteristics compact (ca. 90cm x 50cm x 20cm)
light (ca. 50 kg) moveable for service
continuous update
- create a candidate for GOLDEN STANDARD
- for universal use (electric steel + amorphous ribbon; for direct comparison)
- logical sample size (representative, but compact)
- full induction range + full frequency range
- high absolute accuracy, repeatability + reproducibility
- comparable and close to novel standardization
- compact, rapid and affordable
<< B >> Today’s Situation of Standardization
Epstein Tester, sheet format 28 cm x 3 cm, IEC 60404-2 (1996)
Single Sheet Tester, 50 cm x 50 cm, IEC 60404-3 (1992)
Single Sheet Tester with H-coil, 50 cm x >10 cm, IEC WG-2 N336B, in discussion (2023)
Single Sheet Tester with H-coil for AR, 25 cm x 25 cm, IEC 60404-16 (2018)
<< C >> The Concept of MV-SST
* 1st universal SST (electric steel, amorphous ribbon; direct comparison)
* standard sample length of 50 cm (representative)
* reduced sample width of 17 cm (1/3 of 50 cm; compact, but no annealing needed)
* closest to new standardization
* assessable absolute accuracy (2% electric steel 50/60 Hz, up to 1.8 T; AR 3%)
* high robustness, repeatability error <<1%, reproducibility error 1%
* close to saturation (1.8 T for GO, 1.5 T for NO and AR)
* max. B: 1.9 T for GO, 1.6 T for NO and AR
* 1st SST for all relevant f-range, up to 10 kHz*
<< D >> Advantages of VM Precision Lossmeter versus SST:
- extreme reduction of mass (ca. 40 kg) by means of a small , amorphous high frequency yoke
- reduced size of – desktop-compatible – apparatus to 80 cm x 55 cm x 19 cm, by means of reduced sample width to 17 cm, as being sufficient for the homogeneous structure of modern steel types; sample length of 50 cm, width 17 cm
- enlarged range of frequency: 50 Hz to 500 Hz for Series Basic 50 Hz to 1000 Hz for Series Standard 16 2/3 Hz to 10 000 Hz for Series Extended
- simplified, extremely rapid test procedures (ca. 10 measurements per minute)
- automatic scan over induction (over frequency as an option)
- instantaneous output of results by integrated laptop PC, as well as by A4 protocol printer
(extra data processing possible via text files)
<< E >> Video PLM
<< F >> Options
Please ask for options like the following:
- other sample format (larger / smaller)
