Information about electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields are generated when electrical power engineering installations (e.g.
transformers, converters, or motors) are operated.
Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, which could cause them to
malfunction. Heart pacemakers can be affected, for example, which could potentially
damage a person's health or even result in death. Steps must be taken, therefore, to
ensure that persons with heart pacemakers cannot enter these areas.
The plant operator is responsible for taking appropriate measures (labels and hazard
warnings) to adequately protect operating personnel and others against any possible risk.
● Observe the relevant nationally applicable health and safety regulations. In Germany,
● Display adequate hazard warning notices.
● Place barriers around hazardous areas.
● Take appropriate measures (e.g. shields) to reduce electromagnetic fields at their source.
