Application Note AN622001
Using Type 6220-1A Transformer for the Measurement of Low Frequency EMI Currents
APPLICATION
The Type 6220-1A Audio Isolation
Transformer was especially designed
for screen room use in making
conducted audio frequency
susceptibility tests as required by
MIL-STD-461/462 and other EMI
specifications.
The transformer may also be used
as a pickup device to measure low
frequency EMI currents at lower levels
than conventional current probes.
In addition, its secondary may be used
as an isolating inductor in the power
line during transient susceptibility
tests. (See Application Note
AN622001.)
DESCRIPTION
The transformer is capable of handing up
to 200 watts of audio power into its primary
over the frequency range 30 Hz to 250 KHz.
The turns ratio provides a two-to-one step
down to the special secondary winding. The
secondary will handle up to fifty amperes of
a.c. or d.c. without saturating the
transformer. Another secondary winding
is connected to a pair of binding posts
suitable for connecting to a.c. voltmeter
as directed by the applicable EMI
specifications. This winding serves to isolate
the voltmeter from power ground. Neither
the primary nor the secondary windings are
connected to the end bells of the core. The
transformer may be used as a 4-ohm
primary and 1-ohm secondary or 2.4-ohm
primary and 0.6-ohm secondary or 2-ohm
primary and 0.5-ohm secondary.
FEATURES
● Provides a convenient bench model
unit with three-way binding posts on
primary and output voltmeter leads.
Standard 0.75" spacing of binding
posts allows use of standard plugs.
High current secondary uses 1/4-20
threaded studs.
● Capable of handling the audio power
required by EMI specifications and
up to 50 amperes of a.c. or d.c.
through the secondary in series with
the test sample.
