A modeling approach is used to investigate the shielding efficiency of ferromagnetic shields for the reduction of magnetic fields produced by industrial high electric power devices. Different ferromagnetic materials and their behavior in combination with pure conductive screens is analyzed and quantified. A comparison with experimental results performed in proximity to an actual device is finally reported to validate the modeling analysis.
