MEASURING MEGA-AMPERE TRANSIENT CURRENTS

C.D. Nail

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The design of a circuit for measuring mega-ampere transient currents utilizes a changing magnetic field which surrounds a conductor through which a changing current is flowing. The current, produced by a capacitor bank, can be measured by a toroidal pickup coil inserted into the coaxial line. Expressions for the calibration of such a circuit are given. (C.J.G.)
