ELF Magnetic fields

Introduction
3
The problems
• Neither the standards nor the existing regulations
give clear definitions of the meaning of a given field
level or the way to assess conformity with any set of
limits.
• with respect to the time: mean values over 1 day, mean values
over 1 year, median values, values not exceeded during 95 % of
the time (as for noise characterization).
5
Scope
• The purpose of the guide is to identify representative
characteristics of ELF magnetic fields produced by power
electrical installations and to propose a set of
“quantification parameters” able to correctly qualify
magnetic fields in a way better than a single figure can.
6
Field calculation
Some interesting points:
• One single conductor (e.g. railway overhead power supply, earth
wire of an overhead power line): the magnetic fields decreases as
1/R, where R is the distance to the energised conductor
(Ampere’s law).
