Power Choke Tester DPG10 – 1000B

The DPG10-1000B is a mid-range model from the DPG10 Series — a pulse-based Power Choke Tester that reliably measures inductance, flux linkage, co-energy, DC resistance and other magnetic parameters of inductors, chokes, reactors and transformers. It can drive test currents up to 1000 A, making it suitable for a wide spectrum of inductive components: from smaller power inductors to medium-power chokes used in SMPS, inverters, PFC circuits and similar applications..

The DPG10-1000B uses a controlled voltage pulse to drive current into the inductive device under test. As the current increases, the system captures voltage and current waveforms and calculates inductance at each current point. This produces a complete L(i) curve, showing both incremental inductance and saturation behaviour.

With its wide pulse width range, the instrument can characterize both high-frequency cores requiring very short pulses and larger iron-based cores that need longer pulses to reach the required current levels. The 1000 A capability makes it suitable for medium-to-large power inductors used in converters, rectifiers, PFC stages, motor drives and renewable-energy systems.

Its three measurement ranges allow precise testing of small components without sacrificing the ability to handle larger magnetic devices. The DPG10-1000B also includes DC resistance measurement, enabling verification of winding losses, copper quality and thermal design parameters.

This model is well-suited for design validation, research labs, production testing and incoming inspection environments where accurate magnetic characterization is required.

  • Test current up to 1000 A with three selectable ranges: 10 A, 100 A and 1000 A.

  • High pulse energy capability, suitable for demanding saturation and L(i) curve measurements.

  • Adjustable pulse voltage from 10 V to 400 V for flexible test conditions.

  • Pulse width adjustable from approximately 3 microseconds to 1 second.

  • Measures DC resistance from very low milliohm values up to tens of ohms.

  • Generates full inductance curves that reveal saturation and non-linear magnetic behaviour.

  • Includes PC software for plotting curves, exporting data and automating tests.

  • Supplied with high-current test leads, sense leads, power cable, interface cables and calibration certificate.
