Magnetic and Electric Field Measurement Experiments

The paper presents a study on the degree of electromagnetic field exposure of workers in electric power distribution stations. For this purpose, they performed a series of tests on electricity transmission cables used in transformer stations. Based on the results obtained from the experimental testing carried out, the levels of exposure to the influences of the electric and magnetic fields existing in the area where these cables are located were determined. This study is of interest because the maximum limits are regulated by Decision of the Romanian government HG 520/2016 of July 20, 2016 and Directive 2013/35/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013. So, the comparison of the maximum limits allowed in the standard with the measured values is considered. As a result of these comparisons, it is desired, if necessary, to establish additional methods of protecting personnel from exposure to electromagnetic fields at work. It is also considered, the realization of a simulation of the tested conductors for a complete analyze. It is well known that modeling and simulation represent the most efficient way of optimization considering the cost-benefit ratio.
