Performance of high-power thomson coil actuator excited by a current pulse train

This paper uses FEA simulations to investigate the behaviour of a high-speed, high-power Thomson coil (TC) actuator suitable for HVDC protection applications, when excited by a double discharge. The influence of the resulting pulse train on the amplitude of observed armature vibration is investigate...
