Description: The 16454A is designed for accurate permeability mea-
surements  of  toroidal-shaped  magnetic  materials.  Since  the  con-
struction of this fixture creates one turn around the toroid (with no 
magnetic flux leakage), the need of winding a wire around the toroid 
is unnecessary. The following figure shows the one-turn mechanism 
and how complex permeability is calculated from it.
Complex  permeability  is  calculated  from  the  inductance  with  and 
without the toroid. When E4991A with option E4991A-002 is used as 
the measurement instrument, direct readouts of complex permeabili-
ty are possible. In addition, it is furnished  with  a small and a large 
fixture to adapt to a wide range of sizes.

When Option E4991A-007 temperature characteristic test kit is used 
with E4991A, the operating temperature range is between -55°C and 
+150°C. The temperature characteristic test kit is unavailable for the 
4294A.
