Re: [TekScopes] Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
Because 60Hz isn't the primary reason for the mumetal shield. The primary reason is the Earth's magnetic field deflecting the beam in annoying ways. -Chuck Harris 'cheater00 .' cheater00@...

And this applies above power line frequencies. I have personal experience with this on the 7834 oscilloscope which uses a switching power supply. This particular 7834 has a geometry issue and one of

Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
It¡¯s used to keep magnetic fields out of the path the electrons travel in the CRT. Copper foil will shield electric fields, and to some extent will shield AC or changing fields. Mu metal channels or

This is excellent packing advice, and this is exactly why stuff like new TVs are also packed this way: engineers have researched the issue and come up with this stuff, since a lot of big things like

Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
Mu metal is a shield for magnetic fields. It has extremely high permeability, the ability to conduct magnetic fields the Greek letter Mu u is the symbol for permeability. See:

Re: [TekScopes] Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
The skin depth for copper at 60 Hz is large enough that significant field energy can penetrate through material thin enough to be practical, resulting in interference. Mu metal (iron that has been

I disagree. I have bought Agilent ESG-DP, 8341B, 8753ES, 4395A, E4440A, Tek CSA8000, R+S misc, and various heavier advantest equipment in the past year or so. The key is to use the 3" semi-hard foam

Re: [TekScopes] Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
Another reason, the CRT beam is most?susceptible to magnetic fields as seen in the television deflection yoke scanning the beam. A sufficient magnetic field close to the CRT will deflect or modulate

Re: [TekScopes] Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
You're comparing apples and oranges. 60hz Magnetic fields are what MU-metal are best at filtering out. Copper screen is best for shielding RF electric fields as radiated from antennae. Jack KG6INX

Re: [TekScopes] Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
I understand a changing magnetic field would induce a current in the copper foil, and so the magnetic field would effectively be "used up" by the copper foil, though. Why is copper shielding not

Re: Why is Mu Metal used?
Hi, Mu metal is used because the shielding is from magnetic fields not electric fields. Copper is diamagnetic so not a good shield of magnetic fields that would deflect the electron beam.

Why is Mu Metal used?
Hi guys, Why is Mu Metal used to shield CRTs in scopes, rather than just grounded copper foil? I never understood the precise reason for that. Thanks
