Eddy current power loss in structural steel due to cables carrying current in a perpendicular direction

This paper deals with eddy current power loss in structural steel, in the vicinity of cables carrying current in a perpendicular direction. The configuration is approximated by a long cylinder perpendicular to a filament current. An analytical method is used. Expressions are provided which describe the frequency dependence of the power loss. The influence of the permeability and the physical dimensions is considered. Formulae are given for the impedance of the cylinder in different frequency regions. Numerical results are presented to show the behavior.<
