Identification of Electromagnetic waves produced by a magnetic pulse generator
International audienceThe study of the electromagnetic waves generated by an electromagnetic pulse generator is compelling either for the safety of instrumental equipment but more important for human being health. This is a major step to do in order to examine and explore the impact of the intense electromagnetic pulse machine before integrating it into an industrial environment. The electromagnetic pulse generator is used in many industrial applications such as forming, crimping, and welding of dissimilar materials. It is based on an RLC circuit connected to a one-turn massive coil, where the current pulse discharged in the coil is experimentally measured using a Rogowski coil. In this paper, we discuss the electromagnetic field generated around this generator since it is a mandatory step in the process of the deformation of metal parts. To measure the electromagnetic waves generated by the massive coil, we used a dipole antenna located in different positions around the coil. Results given by this experimental setup gives new insights about the electromagnetic field and specify its intensity and frequency
