Abstract

In view of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of the signal shielded cable in the rail weighbridge, the interference source is analyzed on the basis of the field measurement and investigation, and methods of suppressing the crosstalk voltage of the shielded cable are proposed. First, the capacitive coupling model between the power line and the shielded cable is established, and the coupling model between the shielded layer and the core is developed. Later, the distribution parameters of the multi-conductor transmission line system are extracted by the commercial software ANSYS based on the finite element method. Then the coupling voltages of the shielded layer and the core can be calculated; compared with the measured results, the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified. Finally, the EMI suppression methods are proposed and its effectiveness is verified. The EMI of the shielded cable is very common in engineering, and this method has a good reference value for solving the similar problems.
