A portable, battery-operated AC electromagnetic yoke for detecting surface defects in ferrous materials by employing an AC magnetic field. The yoke includes a circuit that produces a quasi AC square wave voltage. The resulting AC magnetic field is the required inspection method of common practice and is capable of demagnetizing upon completion of inspection. A first bank of batteries supplies approximately sixty volts positive DC and a second bank of batteries supplies approximately sixty volts negative DC to power transistors that are in electrical communication with the yoke. Logic circuitry is employed to switch the respective banks of batteries on and off to simulate an AC circuit. The logic circuit includes a clock for generating pulses that are fed to a phase splitter circuit and to a delay and pulse shaping circuit. The respective outputs of those circuits are fed to logic gates that are in electrical communication with a voltage level shifting circuit that triggers the power drivers. A plurality of power resistors in conjunction with the inductor in the yoke provides the proper time constant for the magnetizing current to reach a large enough value to provide sufficient magnetic force to detect the surface defects, demagnetize, and lift ten pounds of ferrous material.
