Measurements for Determining the Efficiency of a Screen of Absorbent Material Used on Board Maritime Vessels

Screening is one of the main ways to achieve the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) in the electric and electronic devices and equipments onboard a vessel. The present paper analyses the results of certain measurements made in order to determine the screen efficiency from the point of view of damping the induction magnetic field. Starting from the calculus for the screen efficiency, measurements of the intensity and level of the electric field, of the power density, of the damping and of the screening factor were made. These measurements were made both in the presence and in the absence of the screen.
