Faraday cage design process
Identifying and characterizing the magnetic and electric field sources through measurements
Calculating the cage aperture based on frequency composition of the EMI and shield thickness based on field strength
Simulating the test setup (source, measuring equipment and faraday cage) and evaluating shielding effectiveness
Selection of the most cost effective and least disruptive field reduction method

B-Field In Actual Lab Conditions
The B-Field is very low and any thin cage can give the required shielding. Considering the worst scenario, wherein the current cycling loop is in proximity (10 cm) of PD equipment further evaluation is carried out
The current cycling loop is about 6m away from PD measuring equipment

Inferences
Considering maximum radio or PD discharge interference frequency of 3 GHz the mesh size shall be smaller than 5cm
Considering the worst scenario the flux density on faraday cage for Case1 is 0.5 Tesla. The use of steel mesh (µr-1000 and thickness 2mm) as in Case2 brought down the B-value from 0.5 Tesla to less than 3mTesla (required limit 7-50 mTesla)
The skin depth evaluation is not considered as the field is static and hence flux distribution is based on ratio of air to mesh permeability alone
Theoretical calculations are in agreement with simulation results

Inferences
The maximum electric field is 0.08 kV/m on faraday cage (worst scenario case) which is well with in the required limit (5 kV/m)
The electric and magnetic fields in the laboratory are low. The effect of electric field is much lower than magnetic field. Hence, the proposed shield design is based on minimum requirements and magnetic field.
The steel mesh of µr-1000 and thickness 2mm shall provide the required shielding
