an eddy is kind of like a breeze, or a wind going in a certain direction.. i think. (:

Can eddy current only exist in conductive or nonconductive materials?

'Eddy currents' are a circulating currents set up as a result of voltages induced into a metal component which not intended to carry current. For example, eddy currents are induced into the silicon-steel core of a transformer due to voltages induced into the core by the changing currents in the transformer's windings. Eddy currents are unavoidable, although steps can be taken to minimise them -in the case of a transformer's core, by manufacturing the core from laminations. Eddy currents generally have no useful function, but represent energy losses. To answer your question directly, eddy currents can only exist in conducting materials.


Why are eddys formed in a conductor in an external magnetic field?

Eddy currents are electric currents that are produced inside conductors, through the process of changing the magnetic field in the conductor. The external magnetic field is used as a barrier or skin to protect the eddy.


What is weather related mean?

Weather related basically means that it has to do with weather.


When you clamp a single core cable carrying about 500A with an aluminum cable clamp do you have to take care of any effects due to Eddy currents and If so what can you do to minimise these effects.?

Assuming the single core cable forms part of a three phase circuit (i.e. you are clamping three single core cables) it is best to install the three cables close togther in what is called "trefoil" formation. This harmonises the Eddy currents of each phase.
