Recollection -- meters report everything in the pass band. If you are looking for frequency specific, you will need something like a spectrum analyzer.

Since the limits for low frequency magnetic fields set out by the ICNIRP is not flat across a frequency range, wouldn't the measuring devices have to be able to provide not only the level but also the frequency? For instance, if a device is generating high magnetic fields at the 3rd harmonic of 50hz, do these meters have the ability to distinguish frequency or do they just give the highest reading such as a power meter? Several of the meters recommended so far really don't make this clear on their datasheet. Thanks to all. The Other Brian -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kunde, Brian Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2011 11:06 AM To: emc-pstc Subject: Magnetic Field Meters Any recommendations (manufacturer/model) on a Magnetic Field Meter for measuring fields for occupational and public safety and household appliances and high current devices? Any "must have" features to look for? Any issues to be aware of? Some of the products we make have low voltage high current electrodes and though our calculations say it is well below any limit we are frequently asked to show measured test data. I have looked at Holaday and Combinova, but since we have never owned or operated such a device we are looking for input. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Replying directly might be a good idea so not to violate any rules.
