Estimation of induced voltages by EMI system • Faraday’s law of induction • n : turns/m • B : magnetic flux • B : magnetic field • A : cross area (1)
If we assume as below - Magnetic field : 1.2 T (Tesla) - Turns of solenoid : 900 turns/m - Area of cross section : 13.2 (cm2) - Velocity of stroke : 9 cm/s (max. value of uncontrolled) Area : 13.2cm2 Length : 5cm
