Bioelectromagnetics ECEN 5341/4341 Lecture 3
1. Environmental and Occupationally Encountered Electromagnetic Fields
2. The objective is to get a feel for the size of both the natural fields we are exposed to and the size of the fields that we are now exposed to resulting from the wide spread use of electricity.
1
Atmospheric Sources1. Direct Current and ELF (0 to 3khz)2. Earths DC Magnetic Fields 24μT to 65μT
variation up to about 1μT with the Northern Lights over several minutes
3. Electric fields DC 100 to 300V/m with the earth negative. Up to 100kV/m in thunderstorms.
2
Natural EM Power Density at the Earths Surface
3
B Field for Underwater Cable
4Normal load 400A shielded so no E field outside
High Voltage AC Lines
5Standards in US limit Fields to 1 to 5kV/m
Magnetic fields from Power Lines as a Function of Distance
