Purpose. Bifilar structures are widely used in modern electrical devices for various purposes. The specific interest is the using of inductor systems with external bifilar coils in the elements of modern metalworking equipment. In particular, it is very important to study the possibility of using such devices as elements of equipment for magnetic-pulse processing of metals. The aim of this research is a derivation of design expressions for theoretical analysis and numerical estimates of the characteristics of electromagnetic processes in a cylindrical inductor system. The case when the inductor is located inside a coaxial solenoid, the winding of which is made in the form of a bifilar with oppositely directed currents is considered. Methodology. Maxwell’s equations with appropriate boundary conditions and Laplace transforms are used to solve this problem. This made it possible to determine the expression for the z-th component of the magnetic field intensity excited in the considered inductor system. Results. It was found that the excited magnetic fluxes are subtracted outside the bifilar coil windings, which leads to a decrease in the resulting field compared to the magnetic field of each of the currents separately. Thus, it is possible to reduce the inductance of the coil as an element of the electrical circuit. It is shown that the formulas obtained for the fields and currents remain valid for the case of unidirectional currents when the sign of the corresponding algebraic term changes. Numerical estimates for the experimental model of the inductor system showed that the induced current as a percentage of the value of the exciting current does not exceed ~ 6.3 %. Originality. The novelty of this work lies in proposing the idea of constructive execution of the inductor system itself, as well as in considering its physical and mathematical model and obtaining calculated expressions for analyzing the ongoing electromagnetic processes with numerical estimates of the characteristics of the excited fields. Practical value. The obtained time dependences for voltages and currents induced in the bifilar winding are applicable depending on the design conditions for various specific designs of the inductor system
