A Comparative Study of Corrosion Related Electro-Magnetic Field Control Effect

The corrosion related electro-magnetic signature is easily detected by modern sensor deployed in mine and other signal measurement system, so the importance of reducing is rapidly growing today. The eliminating effect of shaft frequency signature by shaft insulating technique, passive grounding technique and active grounding technique was comparatively studied by physical scale model (PSM), and their influence on static electromagnetic signature was also studied by boundary element method (BEM). Simulation results suggested that active shaft grounding technique was the best way for eliminating shaft frequency signature, but static electromagnetic signature was stronger than that when the shaft was insulated from hull.
