Implementation of a tool for magnetic field mitigation using passive loops

Abstract

In this paper the implementation of passive loops as a tool for magnetic field mitigation is studied. A theoretical introduction that describes the problem mathematically and physically is presented. Using this formulation a tool to estimate the magnitude and phase of current induced in passive loops is developed and the values obtained are compared with measurements to validate the model. Finally, calculations and measurements are performed for magnetic field with and without the implementation of loops on scale models. The analysis considers different sections of conductors used in loops, and different sizes and shapes.
