Calculations of the magnetic field of the three-phase 4-conductor line with rectangular busbars

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the calculations of the magnetic field for the both shielded and non-shielded 3-phase MR 250 busbar manufactured by Elektromontaż 2 in Katowice, Poland. The busbar magnetic field has been determined by the following methods: analytical method for non–shielded busbar without taking into account the skin and proximity effects, analytical–numerical method based on integral equations, twodimensional method of finite elements with the use of the commercial FEMM software, measurement method on a test stand. The measurements were performed with the use of a special non-directional magnetic field meter. A satisfactory compliance of the calculations has been obtained.
