Meters Feet Enter system voltage (kilovolts rms, maximum): Enter maximum transient overvoltage (per unit)( 1): Altitude (in meters): Phase-to-ground exposure Some of our consultants can help with that. After roughly 80m (260ft) away the EMF from the overhead line is negligible against the background levels. Hello, I live with high voltage power lines next to my back fence and I am just learning about all the health effects due to health symptoms I am experiencing myself. Hi John, you have to measure then you know. Thanks A leaning single-phase tower could be carrying either 69 or 138 kV.

Is house about 15 metres from a 33kv street powerline is safe to live in? It should be noted that when you build, you want to do all you can (as you should do anyway) not to ADD to the magnetic field issue. You can use your personal EMF detector to see if your home is receiving the EMF radiation. Many people would wonder, when looking at homes near high voltage power lines, if those can be bad for you, or even cause cancer. The other thing to realise is that magnetic fields are caused by current and so when the usage of power increases on a daily basis or in the years to come, your exposure can be different. I.

Does anyone know where I can get a device that measures all of what was mentioned in the article? In answer to your question about selling a home with any type EMF finding. -Bob. Electric power transmission is the bulk movement of electrical energy from a generating site, such as a power plant, to an electrical substation.The interconnected lines that facilitate this movement form a transmission network.This is distinct from the local wiring between high-voltage substations and customers, which is typically referred to as electric power distribution. I tried to explain that in the article. Not magnetic fields. due to the power line or something else. But the readings jump around so much its hard to tell. Transmission lines, also known as translines or power lines, are responsible for bringing electricity from generating plants to substations. Alex. Im assuming where you bought it there is also nobody to ask Can I sue city or electricity company for my financial losses? She has vary many health issues, cancer(s), too.

You could get a consultant to check if internal wiring may be adding to the exposure, but if the power lines are close and the field strength increase and reduces in a logical pattern in relation to the distance from the lines then youre pretty safe to say they are your problem. 10-15 meters sound very very close. Best to measure exposure and move desk to an area where exposure is acceptable. (Boy did I love to holiday there when I was a kid) Hi Tony, sorry for the delay.
