Recent Research- A Benchmark Experiment for the Measurement of Eddy Current on Metallic Surfaces during High Power Applications
The presence of eddy current is a major cause for heating and electromagnetic forces in mechanical structures used in high voltage and high current experiments, which may lead to collapse of mechanical structures. This research was aimed at the development of a benchmark experimental setup for measurement of eddy current developed on a metallic surface during a high current discharge. The experimental setup consists of a coil inserted through a torus shaped steel tube and a high current discharge is given through the coil by using a thyristor control circuit. The estimation of eddy current which is generated due to the high current discharge by measurements using a Rogowski coil wound across the torus structure is done and the proposed method is validated by simulation of the experimental setup in ANSYS software. The proposed non-destructive experimental method can be applied in varying atmospheric conditions and has potential applications in the field of electrical engineering.
