Hello,
I'm trying to measure a 50Hz electric field using the PBS-E1 and NF5035.
Using standard setup (button 2) with analog input and 20dB atten I get 150microV. Using the excel the freq MHz : 0,000050, V: 0,000025 the result in V/m is 6132481 (6132kV/m).
Using the internal E-field sensor the elctric field inetnsity is about 110-150V/m.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
The Excell Calculator only works with 50 Ohm input, the NF-5030 offers a HIGH IMPEDANCE input so you cant use the Excell Sheet to calculate the electric field strength.

Thanks for reply,
Please let me know how can I calculate, in this case, the electric field strength using only the device.
Thanks
You need a impedance match so you need to add one of our low frequency amplifiers http://www.aaronia-shop.com/products/br ... f-preamps/

Let's put it together all info:
I need to measure electric field strength>50kV/m. To do this is enough to have: NF5030,PBS-1 , UBBV-NF 25 and Aaronia excel. I'll be able to do this without using MCS, just analog input and the conversion from excel.
It'is correct what I said or I need more devices?
Thanks
The NF-5030 offers no dBm readings for the analog input so you cant use the Excell conversion which is based on dBm.

Thanks for reply,
But how can I measure with NF5030 an electic field strength about 60kV (at 50Hz) ?
Thanks
You could "calibrate" the external probe with the internal E-Field Sensor.
E.g. measure 1000 V/m with the internal probe. Then locate the external probe at the same location and check the Volts reading.
Do the same with 2000 V/m etc.
Then you get a nice linear conversion table which you can use for much higher readings e.g. 50kV/m with the external probe.

Ok, I understand what are you saying, but Aaronia doesn't provide any "ready to use" solution ofr using NF5030 with PBS1 probes?
So fare we dont offer it.

Thanks for reply, but there is something I get rid of.
So, my issue is:
I want to measure 50Hz electric and magnetic filed, using analog input and get the results in V/m and T.
So far I understand that I need : NF503X, PBS1 and UBBV-NF-25.
How can I use them to get values in V/m for electric filed strength and in T for magnetic ones?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Just as mentioned before: Construct a conversioin table.
