Description
The lecture will provide a basic view of D.C. and low frequency magnetic field mitigation techniques. After an introduction on the general principles for magnetic field mitigation using passive shields, the attention will be focused on three main aspects: (a) mathematical aspects involved in the development of 2D and 3D magnetic field models for the prediction of shielding effectiveness; (b) shielding behaviour in presence of soft magnetic materials; (c) analysis of the geometrical parameters affecting the shielding efficiency. At the end, some practical examples of shielding solutions will be presented, making reference to the speaker's experience.

Biography

Oriano Bottauscio received a degree in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino in 1985. In 1987 he joined the Istituto Elettrotecnico Nazionale Galileo Ferraris in Turin as a research scientist starting his research activity on interruption phenomena in electrical circuits. In 1999 he became senior researcher and, since 2001, he is responsible of the Applied Electromagnetics Division, which performs research activities in the field of electromagnetism and its applications towards material science and metrological topics. Presently, his research activity is devoted to computational electromagnetic and magnetic material modelling, specifically electromagnetic devices and low frequency electromagnetic fields. He is author of more than 140 papers, most of them published in relevant international journals of electrical and material sciences. Currently he is member of the C4.04.02 CIGRE Working Group on magnetic field mitigation techniques.
