A magnetic field generator is a transient generator designed to simulate power frequency EMF for magnetic field immunity testing. Magnetic field testing is performed to test the magnetic resistance of electronic equipment in settings like high-voltage substations, facilities, and vehicles, ensuring they are resistant to transients. Magnetic transients can cause faults in video displays, hall effect sensors, and other sensitive devices. During testing, a transient generator designed to meet test standards like IEC 61000-4-8, -9, and -10 is used in conjunction with a coil to simulate a magnetic disturbance. Magnetic field tests are a part of the conducted immunity portion of EMC testing.
