Harmonics of the powerline fundamental frequency (60/400 | |
Hz) can be generated whenever nonlinear loads are | |
connected to the power distribution system. In some | |
cases, these currents can be the source of radiated | |
magnetic field emissions that adversely affect shipboard | |
equipment. In this memorandum, the magnetic fields from | |
shipboard power transformers were determined using an | |
offline broadband generator as a source of controlled | |
powerline harmonics at frequencies up to 50 kHz. | |
Normalizing the flux density, B, by the harmonic current | |
spectral density in the primary winding, I, was found to | |
be an effective method to compensate for impedance | |
changes and harmonic distortion caused by the transformer | |
magnetic core. It was shown that between 5 and 50 KHz the | |
magnetic fields from transformers rated at 200 W to 5 kVA | |
depend on the distance from the center of the transformer | |
to the field point, the shielding effectiveness of the | |
case, and the current spectrum of the input harmonics. In | |
this frequency band, a transformer surface not containing | |
seams or openings behaves similar to an ideal shielding | |
boundary with respect to frequency (f to the minus 1/2 | |
power dependence). At a distance close to the | |
transformer, the magnetic fields are proportional to 1/R | |
cubed (dipole source); at greater distances they are | |
proportional to 1/R squared. | |
