This document describes a number of tests for use in determining the significant parameters
and performance characteristics of transformers and inductors for use in electronics and
telecommunication equipment. These test methods are designed primarily for transformers
and inductors used in all types of electronics applications that can be involved in any
specification for such components. Even though these tests can be useful to the other types
of transformers used in power distribution applications in utilities, industry, and others, the
tests discussed in this document can supplement or complement the tests but are not
intended to replace the tests in standards for transformers. Some of the tests described are
intended for qualifying a product for a specific application, while others are test practices used
for manufacturing and customer acceptance testing. The test methods described here include
those parameters most commonly used in the electronics transformer and inductor industry:
electric strength, resistance, power loss, inductance, impedance, balance, transformation
ratio and many others used less frequently.All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
