MEASURING MEGA-AMPERE TRANSIENT CURRENTS
C.D. Nail · OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information) · 1960
The design of a circuit for measuring mega-ampere transient currents utilizes a changing magnetic field which surrounds a conductor through which a changing current is flowing. The current, produced by a capacitor bank, can be measured by a toroidal pickup coil inserted into the coaxial line. Expressions for the calibration of such a circuit are given. (C.J.G.)
