Shielding of Magnetic Fields of an Electrical Substation

Sybrand Zeinstra1
1Demcon Multiphysics, Enschede, the Netherlands

Normally, power lines for electrical power distribution are shielded such that there is (almost) no magnetic field outside the cable. In a substation, these cables are connected to transformers via unshielded components such as switching boards and busbars. Thus, magnetic fields are ... Read More

Simulation of the Arc Motion in Low-Voltage Surge Protection Devices

Margarita Baeva1, Martin Hannig2, Ralf Methling1, Dirk Uhrlandt1, Diego Gonzalez1, Arnd Ehrhardt2

2University of St. Gallen (HSG)

The following set of COMSOL® simulations were a vital part of a multi-year-long research project about magnetically levitated hoverboards. A hoverboard can be seen as a small skateboard, that uses magnetic a set of hover-thrusters instead of wheels. A total of nine working prototype ... Read More

Thermo-Electrical Improvement of a MEMS-IR-Emitter Membrane

Toni Schildhauer1, Andreas T. Winzer1
1CiS Forschungsinstitut für Mikrosensorik GmbH, Erfurt, Germany

NDIR (Non-dispersive infrared) sensors are state of the art for measuring gas concentrations in the Mid-infrared spectrum, e.g. components of exhaled human breath. These sensors require fitting light sources. Micro light bulbs and other filament based light source are sensible to ... Read More

Introduction: Mechanical ventilation in the ICU can result in complications, including ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD), leading to extended hospital stays and increased costs. This abstract presents a novel approach using multiple esophageal electrodes for phrenic ... Read More

2D Magnetic Field Analyses of Linear Induction Motor

Ananya Kundu1, P. Prasada Rao1, Y S S Srinivas1, Vilas C. Chaudhari1, Arvind Kumar1, Ankur Jaiswal1, Anita Patel1, E. Rajendra Kumar1
1Institute For Plasma Research, Bhat, Gandhinagar-382428

Linear Induction Motor (LIM) has been identified as a key element for electromagnetic launching technology. The stator part of the motor when energized induces a linearly moving magnetic field which consequently produces a thrust force on the rotor part of the motor. Thus it accelerates ... Read More
