IEC 60404-2 pdf download Magnetic materials – Part 2: Methods of measurement of the magnetic properties of electrical steel strip and sheet by means of an Epstein frame
1 Scope and object
This part of lEC 60404 is applicable to grain oriented and non-oriented electrical sheet andstrip for a.c. measurements of magnetic properties at frequencies up to 400 Hz and for d.c.magnetic measurements.
The object of this part is to define the general principles and the technical details of themeasurement of the magnetic properties of electrical steel sheet and strip by means of anEpstein frame.
The Epstein frame is applicable to test specimens obtained from electrical steel sheets andstrips of any grade.The a.c. magnetic characteristics are determined for sinusoidal inducedvoltages, for specified peak values of magnetic polarization and for a specified frequency.
The measurements are to be made at an ambient temperature of (23 ± 5) C on testspecimens which have first been demagnetized.
Measurements at higher frequencies are to be made in accordance with lEC 60404-10.
NOTE Throughout this standard the term “magnetic polarization” is used as defined in lEC 60050(221). In somestandards of the lEC 60404 series, the term “magnetic flux density” was used.

3 General principles of a.c. measurements3.1 Principle of the 25 cm Epstein frame method
The 25 cm Epstein frame which comprises a primary winding,a secondary winding and thespecimen to be tested as a core,forms an unloaded transformer whose characteristics aremeasured by the method described in the following subclauses.
3.2Test specimen
The strips to be tested are assembled in a square, having double-lapped joints (see figure 1).thus forming four branches of equal length and equal cross-sectional area.
The strips shall be sampled in accordance with the appropriate product standard in the lEC60404-8 series.
They shall be cut by a method which will produce substantially burr-free edges and, if sospecified, heat treated in accordance with the corresponding product standard.They shall havethe following dimensions:
– width b = 30 mm ±0,2 mm;- length 280 mm sl≤ 320 mm.
The lengths of the strips shall be equal within a tolerance of +0,5 mm.
When strips are cut parallel or normal to the direction of rolling, the edge of the parent sheetshall be taken as the reference direction.
The following tolerances shall apply for the angle between the specified and actual direction ofcutting:
士1° for grain oriented steel sheet;士5° for non-oriented steel sheet.
Only flat strips shall be used.Measurements shall be made without additional insulation.
The number of strips comprising the test specimen shall be a multiple of four and is specifiedin the corresponding product standard.However, the active mass of the test specimen (seeequation (1)) shall be at least 240 g for strips 280 mm long.
