To quickly and accurately measure the AC magnetic properties of grain-oriented electrical steel by means of the existing measuring system designed for the magnetizing current method (MC), specifically the SST (92) single sheet method, in this work, the H-coil (HC) measuring system, which directly senses the magnetic field strength of the tested sample, was designed to measure the AC magnetic properties of the grain-oriented electrical steel. The assumed effective magnetic path length introduced in the MC method was corrected by comparing the measurement results obtained by means of HC and MC methods. The results found that specific total loss measured by the HC method was significantly lower than that measured by the classical magnetizing current (MC) method. Taking the HC method as the reference, the influencing factors of the effective magnetic path length was studied. It was found that the actual effective magnetic path length depends on the investigated sample characteristics, the measurement conditions, as well as yoke characteristics. The actual effective magnetic path length introduced in the MC method is examined to be more than 450 mm, fluctuating around 468 mm.
