Non-contact circuit analyzer

摘要

A non-contact circuit analyzer includes a computer system having a memory with circuit parameters stored therein wherein the circuit parameters specify acceptable operating characteristics for a circuit. The analyzer further includes a magnetic field detector coupled to the computer and configured to detect the magnetic field emitted from the circuit while operational. The magnetic field relates to current in the circuit. The analyzer further includes an electric field sensor coupled to the computer and configured to detect the electric field emitted from the circuit while operational. The electric field relates to voltage and/or operating frequency in the circuit. The magnetic field detector and the electric field detector are configured to send signals for the detected fields to the computer system. The computer system is configured to compare the signals to the circuit parameters to determine whether the circuit is operating within the circuit parameters.
