Abstract :
For EDS (electrodynamic suspension) maglev trains, magnetic shielding is an important task. We have attained a field of less than 2 mT. In this study, we tried to reduce the magnetic field level in vehicles further (less than 0.5 mT) by suitable choice of shielding material and shielding structure according to each part on vehicles
