    Identification and Correction of Artifact in the Measurement of Pulsed Magnetic Fields

    No full text
    AC magnetic flux density meters usually integrate a high pass filter with a very low cut-off frequency (1 Hz - 30 Hz) aiming at reducing the effect of slow oscillations. This can distort the actual time domain behaviour of induction waveforms detectable close to industrial or medical devices, even causing artefact high amplitude oscillations. This paper proposes a procedure to identify the filter parameters that accurately reproduce its measured frequency behaviour and suggests an algorithm to correct, in time domain, the field meter recorded waveform

    Evaluation of Frequency Behavior of Coils for Reference Magnetic Field Generation

    No full text
    —The frequency behavior of coils for the generation of reference time-varying magnetic fields is evaluated starting from the coil construction parameters (geometrical dimensions, number of turns). A coil equivalent circuit with lumped parameters is con- sidered and the related equation system is solved in the frequency domain. The computed frequency behavior of the coil impedance is validated by comparison with experimental data. The operating frequency limit is identified fromthe analysis of the coil impedance variation with frequency as a function of the construction param- eters

    Experimental evaluation of earth currents generated by a DC traction network

    Earth currents generated by a DC traction network, causing interference with the functioning of sensitive apparatuses and plants located in the surrounding area, are experimentally investigated. Measurements of the potential variation of a lighting plant earthing network are made at the same time with significant railway load variations. The presence and the amount of earth current with respect to that flowing in the overhead line are experimentally evaluated through measurements of voltage drops across rail sections, when a defined current is imposed on the supply line for a short time
