• Resumen

  • Self‐inductance calculations are presented for coils of modular construction. Individual modules have a fixed winding density, so that a complete multi‐module coil will be characterized by larger inter‐turn spacing at its extremities to provide suitable insulation strength under impulse voltage conditions. Gives inductance computations using finite‐element analysis, so that empirical correction factors to take account of end‐effects and inter‐turn spacing are unnecessary. Comparison where possible with established empirical methods shows consistency. Gives an example of oscillatory high‐voltage tests.
