Summary:This paper describes a simplified but effective methodology for the assessment of the human exposure to the magnetic field generated by resistance spot welding guns. The procedure makes it possible to compute the induced electric field in time domain as required by the standardized methodology for the assessment of pulsed magnetic fields (i.e., the weighted peak method). In this paper, we show that the proposed procedure provides results in accordance with a rigorous approach, allowing a huge reduction in the computational burden and, consequently, a significant speedup.
