چکیده
Aim to the paper was to describe our earlier studies of PMs and analyze where it is possible to find such high magnetic fields that the exposure can influence PMs. We tested PMs with a human-shaped phantom at 400kV substation, where the magnetic field source was a shunt reactor.

Occupational exposure to electric and magnetic fields during tasks at ground or floor level at 110 kV substations in Finland
The aim was to investigate occupational exposure to electric and magnetic fields during tasks at ground or floor level at 110 kV substations in Finland and to compare the measured values to Directive 2013/35/EU. Altogether, 347 electric field measurements and 100 magnetic field measurements were performed. The average value of all electric fields was 2.3 kV/m (maximum 6.4 kV/m) and that of magn...

متن کاملImplantable Cardioverter Defibrillators in Magnetic Fields of a 400 kV Substation
Workers using an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) are classified by European Directive 2013/35/EU as being at particular risk because of the potential interference between implanted medical devices and electromagnetic fields. The aim of the study was to investigate ICD function using a human-shaped phantom in high magnetic fields of a shunt reactor at a 400 kV substation. We used th...
