NOTES: 2. Inductive loop switching measurement.
3. These parameters must be measured using pulse techniques, t
4. These parameters must be measured using voltage-sensing contacts, separate from the current carrying contacts.
5. To obtain f
the [hFE] response is extrapolated at the rate of -6 dB per octave from f = 1 MHz to the frequency at which [hFE] = 1.
