On the 17th of February 2006 at 11:30 am, electric and magnetic field measurements were performed for Substation 3262 Exinta Skales. The substation of interest is located on the ground floor of Rita Court 27 Apartments, Zakynthou street in Nicosia. {mosmap width='500' height='400' lat='35.160914' lon='33.353868' zoom='18' zoomtype='large' zoomnew='0' maptype='satellite' showmaptype='1' overview='0' text='substation 3262, Exinta Skales' tooltip='dwo' marker='1' align='center' key='abqiaaaa03cwbwhnzyjizsn-wwdqmhqctkyp5l8hb2mjngvvfkvpdgzbixqkqitrafigip chx6gplphdidvzga'} Σελίδα 1 / 12
The substation is rated at a nominal power of a 1000 KVA but the maximum observed values during the year are not usually greater than 800KVA. At the time when the measurements were performed, the substation load power was recorded as: Red Phase Σελίδα 2 / 12
Yellow Phase Blue Phase 350A 310A 280A Table 1: Measured load current The resultant load of all three phases was 22.5% utilization of the nominal load current. Limiting exposure values have been provided by the ICNIRP recommendations and are guidelines to many countries and organizations. The exposure limits at 50 Hz are tabulated in the following table according to the limits given by ICNIRP. Reference levels for Occupational exposure ICNIRP Frequency Electric Field Strength, E (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength, H (A/m) Magnetic Flux Density, B (µt) 50 Hz 10000 400 500 Reference levels for General Public exposure ICNIRP Frequency Σελίδα 3 / 12
Electric Field Strength, E (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength, H (A/m) Magnetic Flux Density, B (µt) 50 Hz 5000 80 100 Table 2: ICNIRP Exposure limits for Occupational and General Public exposure The obtained results for the fields inside and outside the substation are shown in tables 3 and 4 respectively and a comparison is made with the ICNIRP recommendations.
