Quasies and peaks

In the May-June 1957 issue of Quasies and Peaks, a list of changes in MIL-I-006181C (USAF), as submitted by WADC (Ohio) was reprinted. As the result of subsequent inquiries, we asked WADC for further clarification and have received the following reply: a. A stabilization network is not required on power lines over 50 amperes capacity. The difficulties involved in designing and constructing higher current networks are not considered worthwhile since the results obtained with them are highly questionable. b. The new method of measuring conducted interference is described in 4.3.1.2∗ and Figure 14. The current probe is similar to a “clamp-on” ammeter and is available now from Stoddart and will be available from Empire Devices. The current probe offers many advantages over stabilization networks and will reduce measurement time. It is especially useful in locating and isolating interference from interconnecting wire and cables, as it does not measure interference from wires outside the probe.
