Abstract: A magnetic field sensor coil wherein the coil is formed into a shape comprising two generally C-shaped limbs (2, 3) one within the other, one of these limbs being covered by a magnetic screening material (4). In operation an e.m.f. is induced in each turn of the unscreened part of the coil (3) while no e.m.f. is induced in the screened part (4) and so the total e.m.f. induced is approximately equal to the e.m.f. that would be induced in a simple concentrically wound coil of the same number of turns and of the same dimensions as the unscreened portion of the coil. The coil according to the invention is especially suitable for use with a system for monitoring an electric motor where the coil may be placed adjacent the motor end plate concentrically around the motor shaft without having to uncouple the motor from its load.

Abstract: A meter for sheet conductance measurements does not touch the conductive surface of a sample. A probe having a resonant tank coil is positioned against a parallel supporting surface of the sample, which may be flat or curved and of unrestricted area. An oscillator incorporating the tank coil is controlled to stabilize oscillator amplitude in response to eddy current loading by the sample. An electrostatic shield in a finger configuration prevents capacitive coupling between the tank coil and the sample without hindering magnetic coupling. A readout of sheet conductance is driven by the oscillator control. Direct current can be coupled to the tank coil for temperature control preventing undesired resistance changes in the tank coil. The oscillator can be controlled by an optically coupled variable gain element. Measurements can be made with the tank coil up to at least 0.75 inch from the conductive surface of the sample.

Abstract: A method for improving the electrical insulation of an electrode in a power transformer included in a converter plant of a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system. The method involves winding around the electrode, layers of tape of woven or non-woven fibrous structure of non-conducting cellulose material, inorganic plastics material, or inorganic insulating material. This means that ions approaching the electrode, which are migrating under the influence of a high d.c. field outside the electrodes, do not sense the porous tape insulation as any noticeable obstacle, while at the same time the insulating layer is sufficiently dense to increase the breakdown value in the case of electrical surges.

Abstract: A pulse transformer is used in a radar transmitter to transform a high current pulse at relatively low voltage into a very high voltage pulse which can be used to directly drive a magnetron oscillator. The potential of the output pulse can be of the order of 30 kV and since the transformer is required to operate at very high peak powers of the order of two megawatts, it must be very carefully designed to avoid excessive electrical losses and voltage breakdown. The core material of the transformer consists of a closely wound reel of magnetic material in the form of an elongate tape, which is mechanically fragile. The magnetic core is loosely mounted within a sealed container so that the primary and secondary windings surround it. A conductive shield is placed around the magnetic material so as to protect it from the very large electric fields generated within the transformer. This prevents the ionization of gases which could lead to the rapid deterioration of the magnetic core material.
