Design, Fabrication, and Installation of Shielded Rogowski Coils

Abstract

Pulsed power current diagnostics are an engineering challenge because of the high rate of change of current and extreme peak current amplitudes inherent to many pulsed power apparatuses. The situation is further complicated by the high degree of ambient fields and complex geometries of compact pulsed power systems. This paper provides a detailed guide for the design, fabrication, and installation of Rogowski coils as implemented at AFRLs Directed Energy Directorate, High Power Electromagnetics Division. Practical designs, shielding techniques, rise time considerations, and signal processing methods are presented.
