Abstract :
This paper focuses on the measurement of electromagnetic interference (EMI) from high-power systems characterized by fast and intense electromagnetic transients, such those encountered in the operation of rail electromagnetic launchers. In order to develop a preliminary measurement analysis, an experimental setup was assembled consisting in a single capacitor module, a controlled switch and two Cu-Cr rails. We provide a phenomenological discussion and present the results of a series of static experiments.
