Approximations to wire grid inductance

Warne, Larry K.; Merewether, Kimball O.; Johnson, William Arthur.

By using a multipole-conformal mapping expansion for the wire currents we examine the accuracy of approximations for the transfer inductance of a one dimensional array of wires (wire grid). A simple uniform fit is constructed by introduction of the decay factor from bipolar coordinates into existing formulas for this inductance.
