Measurement and Analysis of Electromagnetic Field Radiation for Engineering Workshop using Three Axis Tesla Meter

This paper presents measurement and analysis of electromagnetic field radiation for engineering workshop using three-axis Tesla meter. The measurements are carried out at the exposure level of power frequency magnetic field in some typical places where the workers are subjected to the fields. In the usual surroundings, high value of current radiates strong magnetic field that might exceed the safe limit of creating possible adverse health effects if proper shielding is not ended. Radiated magnetic field at the different locations of engineering workshops are measured and compared with international guidelines. In order to achieve space distribution, the work place is divided into meshes and fields are measured in the grid points. The measurements are performed using three axis EMF meter (Gauss meter). The results and analysis shows that the data taken using the three axis Tesla meter is more accurate with the calculated value compared to the existing single axis Tesla meter.
