Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electromagnetic shielding performance testing technology, and relates to a device for measuring the electromagnetic shielding performance of Helmholtz coil materials in the event of lightning, as well as a method for measuring the electromagnetic shielding performance of Helmholtz coil materials in the event of lightning. Background Technology
[0002] Shielding is a crucial aspect of electromagnetic protection. Traditional shielding tests primarily focus on electric field shielding, lacking reliable methods for assessing the shielding effectiveness against transient, strong magnetic fields caused by lightning strikes. The magnetic shielding effectiveness of materials is a critical parameter in lightning protection structural design. Magnetic field shielding effectiveness testing is a vital component of lightning protection performance evaluation. Compared to structural effectiveness testing, testing the magnetic field shielding effectiveness of materials is extremely difficult for the following reasons: 1) Lightning electromagnetic fields are characterized by high intensity and wide bandwidth, making it difficult to construct a large-scale, high-intensity, controllable changing magnetic field environment. Traditional shielded room measurement methods are not applicable. 2) Traditional magnetic field excitation methods cannot simulate the actual distribution of lightning electromagnetic fields and lack standardized measurement schemes for lightning current waveform injection and magnetic field comparison. 3) Open testing environments are susceptible to external electromagnetic interference, and the magnetic field generated by ordinary coils is uneven, making it difficult to accurately compare the relative magnetic field strength before and after shielding, resulting in large measurement errors.
[0003] 4) Current magnetic field shielding effectiveness measurements, especially pulsed magnetic field shielding effectiveness assessments, only focus on comparing the peak magnetic field values. However, the magnetic field change rate (dH(t) / dt) is usually ignored. The magnetic field change rate reflects the shield's ability to suppress the steepest part of the magnetic field change. This is crucial for preventing electromagnetic interference and protecting sensitive equipment from transient impacts, such as transient magnetic fields formed by electrostatic discharge and lightning discharge.
