Claims24
1) An apparatus configured to determine one or more electromagnetic fields in one or more conductive elements of an electrical system, the one or more electromagnetic fields being caused by one or more electrical waves emitted by at least one electromagnetic wave creation element of the electrical system, the apparatus comprising:
- a processing module;
- and
- a non-transitory memory storage module operable to store computer instructions configured to run on the processing module and perform acts of:
- receiving two or more physical parameters of the one or more conductive elements;
- receiving one or more electrical parameters of the at least one electromagnetic wave creation element;
- determining at least one impedance matrix for the one or more conductive elements;
- determining a mean energy of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more conductive elements;
- and
- determining an energy variance of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more conductive elements.
10) A method of determining one or more electromagnetic fields in one or more conductive elements of an electrical system, the one or more electromagnetic fields being caused by one or more electrical waves emitted by at least one electromagnetic wave creation element of the electrical system, the method comprising:
- determining two or more physical parameters of the one or more conductive elements;
- determining one or more electrical parameters of the at least one electromagnetic wave creation element;
- executing one or more first computer instructions configured to determine at least one impedance matrix for the one or more conductive elements;
- executing one or more second computer instructions configured to determine a mean energy of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more conductive elements;
- and
- executing one or more third computer instructions configured to determine an energy variance of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more conductive elements;
- wherein:
- the one or more first computer instructions, the one or more second computer instructions, and the one or more third computer instructions are configured to run at a processing module and configured to be stored at a non-transitory memory storage module.
25) A method of determining one or more electromagnetic fields in one or more wires of an electrical system, the one or more electromagnetic fields being caused by one or more electrical waves emitted by at least one electromagnetic wave creation element of the electrical system, the method comprising:
- executing one or more first computer instructions configured to identify two or more physical parameters of the one or more wires;
- executing one or more second computer instructions configured to identify one or more electrical parameters of the at least one electromagnetic wave creation element;
- executing one or more third computer instructions configured to determine a mean energy of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more wires;
- executing one or more fourth computer instructions configured to use the mean energy of the one or more electromagnetic fields in the one or more wires to determine one or more potential changes to at least one of (i) the one or more wires, (ii) a region surrounding the one or more wires, or (iii) the at least one electromagnetic wave creation element;
- and
- executing one or more fifth computer instructions configured to model the one or more potential changes;
- wherein:
- the one or more first computer instructions, the one or more second computer instructions, the one or more third computer instructions, the one or more fourth computer instructions, and the one or more fifth computer instructions are configured to run at a processing module and configured to be stored at a non-transitory memory storage module.
