IEC 62024 2 Edition 1 0 2008 10 INTERNATIONAL STANDARD NORME INTERNATIONALE High frequency inductive components – Electrical characteristics and measuring methods – Part 2 Rated current of inductors f[.]
Standard atmospheric conditions for testing
Standard atmospheric conditions for testing shall be as follows (see 5.3.1 of IEC 60068-1):
– air pressure: 86 kPa to 106 kPa
In the event of dispute or where required, the measurements shall be repeated using the referee temperatures and such other conditions as given in 4.2.
General
When alternating current in which DC current is superimposed is supplied to an inductor, the inductance of the inductor decreases according to the DC current value
In standard applications, the saturation current arises from the peak current resulting from the superposition of AC on DC current, and it is measured as DC current that offsets a small signal AC current.
Establishing a standard for AC saturation limited current is impractical due to the myriad of ways AC current can be utilized in various applications Consequently, both manufacturers and users have commonly adopted DC saturation limited current as a reference point, which serves a similar purpose.
Test conditions
Unless otherwise specified in the detail specification, the test conditions shall be in accordance with Clause 4
The variation of DC saturation limited current with temperature is influenced by the magnetic material and core structure of the inductor Measuring DC saturating currents at high temperatures is often impractical for inspection, so room temperature measurements are typically used for specifications Derating curves can be created to show how DC saturation limited current changes with maximum operating temperature, allowing for correlation between room temperature and typical operating conditions In certain situations, manufacturers and users may need to establish additional specifications for high temperatures.

The decrease in inductance shall be within the specified value
6 Measuring method of temperature rise limited current
General
When DC current is supplied to an inductor, the inductor generates heat by itself according to the supplied DC current value because of its DC current resistance
NOTE 1 Temperature rise results from self-heating of the inductor The sources of heating are DC copper losses,
AC copper losses and AC core losses are critical factors in determining temperature rise in specific applications This standard focuses on temperature increases caused solely by DC currents, but it is essential to also account for AC losses These AC losses are significantly influenced by the waveform, amplitude, and frequency of the current.
Setting a standard for AC temperature rise limited current is impractical due to the numerous ways AC current can be applied in various applications In DC to DC converters, AC losses are typically much smaller than DC losses Consequently, both manufacturers and users have commonly established DC temperature rise limited current as a reference point, which this standard also follows.

Test conditions
Unless otherwise specified in the detail specification, the test conditions shall be in accordance with Clause 4
Since the value of DC current resistance increases as a function of temperature, some applications require a high ambient temperature such as 85 °C, 105 °C or 125 °C for the temperature rise test
The overall power loss in an inductor arises from both DC power loss due to resistance from DC current and AC power loss from AC current in the windings, along with losses from the AC flux in the magnetic core As temperature rises, the resistance of the conductor increases, leading to higher power loss Core loss, which is solely due to AC excitation, decreases with temperature until it reaches a specific point known as the core loss minima temperature, after which it starts to increase The characteristics of the minima temperature and the extent of loss are influenced by the type and grade of the magnetic material used.
Most ferrites display distinct minima temperatures, unlike powder alloys This distinction is crucial when applying temperature rise currents in high-temperature applications, where both AC and DC power losses are significant The total loss at a specific temperature can be primarily influenced by either DC or AC loss, depending on the power loss distribution at room temperature and how each type of loss varies with temperature.
The variation of DC temperature rise limited currents with changes in ambient temperature can be predicted, but measuring these currents at elevated temperatures is often impractical Consequently, this standard typically recommends conducting measurements at room temperature.

Measuring method and calculation
Resistance-substitution method
a) The specimen shall be connected to the circuit shown in Figure 3, by using the measurement jig specified in 6.3
The temperature rise measurement circuit utilizes the resistance substitution method After soldering the specimen, it should be allowed to cool adequately To ensure accurate measurements, the specimen must be placed inside a cubic box, approximately 20 cm on each side, which helps prevent temperature fluctuations caused by air flow Additionally, the box may feature vents at the top to avoid heat accumulation.
The specimen must be measured without direct contact to the test board When mounted on a printed-circuit board, it should also avoid direct contact with the test board Prior to supplying DC current, the resistance value of the specimen and the ambient temperature \( t_{a1} \) must be recorded DC current is then supplied from a direct power source, and once the DC voltage stabilizes, the values of DC current \( I_x \) and DC voltage are noted.
E x shall be measured by the ammeter and the voltmeter, and also ambient temperature t a2 shall be measured Then the resistance value R x shall be calculated by the following formula
LICENSED TO MECON Limited - RANCHI/BANGALORE FOR INTERNAL USE AT THIS LOCATION ONLY, SUPPLIED BY BOOK SUPPLY BUREAU. x x x
I x is the DC current value;
The resistance of the specimen, denoted as R x, is crucial for calculating the temperature rise value, t This value is determined using the metal's resistivity coefficient and the specimen's resistance It is essential that the absolute difference in temperature, |t a1 – t a2|, remains at 5 °C or lower.
The temperature rise value (\$t\$) is defined as the difference between the specimen's temperature when direct current (DC) is supplied (\$t_2\$) and the initial ambient temperature (\$t_{a1}\$) Additionally, it is important to consider the ambient temperature at the time of DC current application (\$t_{a2}\$).
R 1 is the resistance of winding at temperature t 1 = t a1 (Ω);
R 2 is the resistance of winding at temperature t 2 (Ω);
C is a material constant, with a value of 234.5 for copper The supplied DC current must be modulated, and the resulting temperature rise should be measured The temperature rise limited current is identified by measuring the DC current at the point when the temperature rise reaches the specified value in the detail specification, which should be set at 20 °C.
Thermo-couple method
a) The specimen shall be connected to the circuit shown in Figure 4, by using the measurement jig specified in 6.3
The temperature rise measurement circuit utilizes the thermo-couple method To ensure accurate readings, the specimen must be soldered and allowed to cool sufficiently It is essential to measure the specimen within a cubic box, approximately 20 cm on each side, to minimize temperature fluctuations caused by air flow Additionally, the box should feature vents at the top to avoid heat accumulation.
LICENSED TO MECON Limited - RANCHI/BANGALORE FOR INTERNAL USE AT THIS LOCATION ONLY, SUPPLIED BY BOOK SUPPLY BUREAU.
The specimen must be measured without direct contact to the test board When mounted on a printed-wiring board, this board should also avoid direct contact with the test board Additionally, the placement of the thermo-couple for accurate temperature measurement is crucial; it should be positioned where the inductor's maximum temperature is expected Optimal locations include direct contact with the specimen's surface, inside the coil, or beneath the coil before winding.
The measurement position must be clearly defined in the detail specification Prior to supplying DC current, the temperatures of the specimen (t₁) and the ambient environment (tₐ₁) should be recorded Once the DC current is applied from a power supply, the specimen's temperature will stabilize, at which point the temperatures (t₂ and tₐ₂) should be measured again The supplied DC current will be adjusted, and the temperature rise will be calculated using the specified formula.
The temperature rise value (\$t\$) is calculated using the formula \$t = t_2 - t_1 - (t_{a2} - t_{a1})\$, where \$t_1\$ is the initial temperature of the specimen, \$t_2\$ is the temperature when DC current is applied, and \$t_{a1}\$ and \$t_{a2}\$ are the initial and applied ambient temperatures, respectively The temperature rise limited current is determined by measuring the DC current at the specified temperature rise value, which should be set at 20 °C according to the detail specification.
Quality conformance inspection
The specified DC current will be supplied to the specimen following the methods outlined in sections 6.3 to 6.4, after which the temperature rise will be measured.
The temperature rise value of the specimen shall be within the specified value
The rated current for an inductor is determined by the lower value between the DC saturation limited current and the temperature rise limited current, as defined and measured according to the specified standard.

Example of recommended description on product specification sheets and catalogues
Both the DC saturation limited current value and the temperature rise limited current value should be described on product specification sheets and catalogues
It should be specified whether the DC saturation limited current value is determined when the allowable decrease in inductance value is at 10 % or 30 %
Sharp saturation is defined as inductance that decreases by more than 8 % for a 10 % increase in bias current, measured where bias current has already reduced the inductance by
Soft saturation refers to a condition in which the inductance decreases by less than 8% when the bias current is increased by 10% This measurement is taken after the bias current has already caused a 30% reduction in inductance compared to the unbiased state.
Sharp saturating inductors exhibit a significant decrease in inductance after reaching an inflection point, which is why they are designed to function at load currents below this critical threshold A standard specification point is typically set at 10%, as it represents a common design target However, alternative values like 20% or 30% can be established through mutual agreement between the manufacturer and the user.
Soft saturating inductors exhibit a gradual decline in inductance without a distinct inflection point They are engineered to function at load currents that can reduce inductance by 20% to 50%, or even more depending on the application A 30% reduction is commonly used as a standard specification point, representing a typical design scenario, though it is not an absolute requirement Other reduction values, such as 20%, may also be considered.
50 %, may be used by mutual agreement between manufacture and user
It should be specified whether the temperature rise limited current value is determined when the temperature rise of the inductor is at 20 °C or 40 °C
When the definition called a rated current is used, it should be the lower one of the DC saturation limited current value and the temperature rise limited current value
NOTE Unless otherwise specified in the detail specification, operating temperature is ambient temperature plus temperature rise of inductors

5 Méthode de mesure du courant continu limité en saturation
Généralité
Lorsque le courant alternatif sur lequel est superposé le courant continu alimente une bobine d’induction, l’inductance de la bobine d’induction diminue selon la valeur du courant continu
In a typical application, the saturation current arises from the peak current resulting from the superposition of alternating current (AC) on direct current (DC) In this context, the saturation current is measured as a direct current that compensates for a low signal alternating current.
It is impractical to establish a standard for alternating current limited in saturation due to the infinite ways to apply alternating current in various applications Consequently, manufacturers and users typically define a limited direct current in saturation as a common reference point This standard follows the same approach.
Conditions d'essais
Sauf spécification contraire dans la spécification particulière, les conditions d’essai doivent être conformes à l’Article 4
The variation of the limited direct current in saturation, influenced by temperature, is dependent on the magnetic material and the core structure of the induction coil However, measuring saturation direct currents at high temperatures is often impractical during examinations Therefore, measurements at ambient temperature, as outlined in this standard, are typically used for specification purposes Curves indicating the reduction rate, which show the variation of limited direct current in saturation relative to the maximum operating temperature of the induction coil, can be generated These curves facilitate the correlation between the limited direct current in saturation at ambient temperature and that at operating temperatures.

6 Méthode de mesure du courant limité en échauffement
Généralité
When direct current is supplied to an induction coil, the coil generates heat due to its resistance to the direct current.
The heating process is caused by the self-heating of the induction coil The sources of heat include copper losses in direct current, copper losses in alternating current, and other associated losses.
This standard, licensed to MECON Limited for internal use in Ranchi and Bangalore, focuses solely on the heating induced by direct currents In specific applications, it is essential to consider both copper losses and core losses due to alternating currents for accurate heating assessments The losses associated with alternating currents are significantly influenced by factors such as waveform, amplitude, and frequency.
It is impractical to establish a standard for alternating current limited by heating due to the infinite ways to apply it in various applications In DC-DC converters, the losses from alternating current are often significantly lower than those from direct current Consequently, manufacturers and users typically define a direct current limit based on heating as a common reference point, and this standard follows the same approach.
Conditions d'essais
Sauf spécification contraire dans la spécification particulière, les conditions d’essai doivent être conformes à l’Article 4
Etant donné que la valeur de la résistance en courant continu augmente en fonction de la température, certaines applications nécessitent une température ambiante élevée, telle que
The overall power loss in an induction coil results from both direct current (DC) resistance losses and alternating current (AC) losses due to the current in the windings and the corresponding alternating flux in the magnetic core The resistance of the conductor increases with temperature, leading to higher power losses associated with it Core losses are entirely due to AC excitation and decrease with rising temperature until reaching a minimum loss temperature, beyond which they begin to increase The minimum loss temperature and amplitude depend on the type and quality of the magnetic material, with most ferrites exhibiting distinct minimum temperatures, unlike powder alloys These factors must be considered when applying heating currents in high-temperature applications that experience significant AC power losses in addition to DC losses At any given temperature, total loss may be dominated by either DC or AC losses, depending on the distribution of power loss at ambient temperature and how each type of loss varies with temperature.
Regarding limited heating direct currents at high temperatures, the variation of the limited heating current in relation to ambient temperature changes can be predicted Additionally, measuring limited heating direct currents at elevated temperatures is typically impractical Therefore, measurements at ambient temperature, as outlined in this standard, are generally applied.

Figure 3 illustrates the measurement circuit for heating using the resistance substitution method When the specimen is connected by soldering, it should remain undisturbed until it has cooled sufficiently It is important to measure the specimen inside a cubic box approximately 20 cm on each side to prevent temperature variations caused by air circulation The box may include vents at the top to avoid heat retention inside.

The resistance of the specimen, denoted as R x, must be considered when calculating the temperature change, t, of the specimen This calculation should utilize the metal's resistivity coefficient along with the specimen's resistance It is essential that the absolute temperature difference, |t a1 – t a2|, remains at 5 °C or lower.
The variable \( t \) represents the heating value in degrees Celsius (°C), while \( t_2 \) indicates the temperature of the specimen when direct current is applied (°C) Additionally, \( t_{a1} \) denotes the initial ambient temperature (°C), and \( t_{a2} \) refers to the ambient temperature during the application of direct current (°C).
R 1 est la résistance de l’enroulement à la température t 1 = t a1 (Ω);
R 2 est la résistance de l’enroulement à la température t 2 (Ω);
The material constant for copper is C = 234.5 g It is essential to modulate the supplied direct current and measure the resulting heating The heating-limited current must be determined by measuring the direct current when the heating reaches the specified value in the particular specification The specified heating value should be either 20 °C or 40 °C.

The measurement circuit for heating utilizes the thermoelectric couple method When the specimen is connected by soldering, it should remain undisturbed until it has cooled sufficiently It is important to measure the specimen inside a cubic box approximately 20 cm on each side to prevent temperature variations caused by air circulation The box may include vents at the top to avoid heat retention inside.
The test tube must be measured without direct contact with the test card When mounted on the printed circuit board, the board should not touch the test card It is essential to consider the correct positioning of the thermoelectric couple for temperature measurement, ideally placed where the maximum temperature of the induction coil occurs The optimal location may involve direct contact with the surface of the test tube, positioning the thermoelectric couple inside the coil, or placing it beneath the coil before winding.
The measurement position must be specified in the particular specification The temperature of the specimen, t₁, and the ambient temperature, tₐ₁, should be measured before applying the direct current The direct current must be supplied to the specimen through a continuous power supply.
Once the temperature of the test tube has stabilized, the temperature \( t_2 \) of the test tube and the ambient temperature \( t_{a2} \) must be measured again Additionally, the supplied direct current value should be modulated, and the heating value must be measured.
The equation \( (t_2 - t_a2)(t_1 - t_a1) t = - \) represents the heating value in degrees Celsius (°C), where \( t_1 \) is the initial temperature of the specimen, \( t_2 \) is the specimen's temperature when direct current is applied, \( t_{a1} \) is the initial ambient temperature, and \( t_{a2} \) is the ambient temperature during current application To determine the current limit for heating, it is essential to measure the direct current when the heating value reaches the specified limit in the particular specification The specified heating value should be either 20 °C or 40 °C.

Exemple de description recommandée dans les fiches de spécification produits et les catalogues
It is essential to include both the saturation-limited direct current value and the heating-limited direct current value in product specification sheets and catalogs.
Il convient de spécifier si la valeur du courant continu limité en saturation est déterminée lorsque la diminution admissible de la valeur de l’inductance se situe à 10 % ou 30 %
Marked saturation is defined as an inductance that decreases by more than 8% with a 10% increase in bias current, measured at a point where the bias current has already reduced the inductance by 30% compared to the inductance without bias In contrast, low saturation is characterized by an inductance that decreases by less than 8% for the same 10% increase in bias current, also measured under the condition that the bias current has reduced the inductance by 30% relative to the inductance without bias.
Saturation marked inductive coils experience a sharp drop in inductance beyond an inflection point, making them specifically designed to operate at load currents below this threshold A typical design specification uses 10% as the standard inflection point for optimal performance.
D’autres valeurs, telles que 20 % ou 30 %, peuvent être utilisées par accord mutuel entre le fabricant et l’utilisateur
Low-saturation inductance coils experience a continuous and gradual drop in inductance without a well-defined inflection point Consequently, they are specifically designed to operate under load currents that typically reduce inductance.
The typical design specification for applications ranges from 20% to 50%, with 30% often serving as a standard reference point However, this is not a mandatory design requirement Alternative values, such as 20% or 50%, can be established through mutual agreement between the manufacturer and the user.
Il convient de spécifier si la valeur du courant limité en échauffement est déterminée lorsque l’échauffement de la bobine d’induction se situe à 20 C ou 40 C
When defining an assigned current, it is important to use the lowest value between the saturation-limited direct current and the heating-limited current.
