Simulating Sensors and Instrument Transformers with COMSOL®
Durée: 1:00:19
In this archived webinar, originally hosted by IEEE Spectrum, learn about modeling sensors and instrument transformers with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.
Guest speaker Nirmal Paudel, a senior R&D engineer at ABB, demonstrates how to simulate sensors and instrument transformers using the example of a split-core sensor for a medium-voltage use case. During the presentation, he discusses key steps in the modeling process and shows simulation results for other kinds of sensors.
