Shieldinhg effectiveness
Hi. I use femm to calculate shielding effectiveness of various
material (such as alluminium, copper, iron, mumetal etc,) at 50 Hz,
but i have some problem.
My configuration is simple:
A alluminium wire with 1000 A 50 Hz (r=7.1 mm)
A dielectric around the wire (external radius r=16.5 mm)
A tubolar shield around (external radius r= 19.5 mm)
I use A=0 as boundary condition
If i don't simulate the shield all is OK, but when i use for example
an alluminum shield, i have these problems:
1- Shielding effectiveness depends on the position of the boundary
condition
2- I compared femm results with real measures: in the measure setup
the wire and the shield lenghts were 10 mt. The wire was grounded
(for femm is grounded at infinity, i think)
Results ( distance from wire: 20 cm)
without shield
B femm= 323 microT B measured=321
with alluminium shield
B femm= 101 microT B measured= 275 microT
I in the shield femm= 200A measured=35 A
with shield floating B measured= 303 microT
Why?
Is The problem, perhaps, the lenght of the wire (and the shield)
infinite for femm and finite (10 mt) for the measure?
Can i simulate with femm terminations of shield (floating or
grounded)?
Thanks and exuse me for my poor english
