About the working group C4.204

Tutorial on Magnetic Field Mitigation Techniques, International Colloquium on ELF EMF, Sarajevo 3rd-4th June, 2009

• CIGRÉ Working Group formed in 2001

• Motivation: Concerns from customers, utilities and researchers in relation to some alleged health risks (in particular childhood leukaemia) of long-term exposure to power frequency magnetic fields

• Initial aim: To collect discuss and synthesise the available technical data referring to different existing techniques to mitigate extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields

• Final form: A published Technical Brochure (TB 373)

Sources of power-frequency magnetic fields (PFMFs)

Tutorial on Magnetic Field Mitigation Techniques, International Colloquium on ELF EMF, Sarajevo 3rd-4th June, 2009

The flow of electrical energy from the

generation plant to the customer.

Along the way there are different types of

sources of power-frequency magnetic

fields

The PFMFs sources and techniques can be

classified according to their origin:

•Power lines•Underground cables•Complex sources (e.g. substations)

•The electric field E does not penetrate the house

•As the field reaches the walls, the electric charges (generated as a consequence of this field) are diverted to earth and recombined

•Even in the case of lightning, the lightning rods connected to ground will do this diversion successfully

•The magnetic field B penetrates the house easily

•Only certain materials with specific geometries or dedicated circuits could oppose to this action

1.3 Some strategies for mitigation

Tutorial on Magnetic Field Mitigation Techniques, International Colloquium on ELF EMF, Sarajevo 3rd-4th June, 2009

A relevant factor regarding the technique to use is the choice of the location i.e. where it is to be applied.

In other words apply it to the source or to the area of interest?

As a general rule, it may seem natural to think that it will be more cost-effective to mitigate at the source than at the area of interest.

However, the choice can be different. For example in some cases where the source is rather large (e.g. long busbars); or if the purpose is to mitigate the field in a small region.

Introducing passive loops

Allowing currents to flow in the metallic sheaths

Shielding by conductive metallic materials

Shielding by ferromagnetric metallic materials

Independently from the shielding efficiency of each of the above solutions, the best solution strongly depends on whether the intervention must be carried out on an existing cable already in operation or on a new cable still to be laid down.

LV SUBSTATIONS

The main characteristics of these sources, and the ones that differentiate them from power lines and underground cables, are:

• Complexity• Local concentration• Proximity

Tutorial on Magnetic Field Mitigation Techniques, International Colloquium on ELF EMF, Sarajevo 3rd-4th June, 2009

The list of possible sources contributing to the emitted PFMF is:

• Busbars

• Transformers

• Low-voltage cables

• Low-voltage connections

• High-voltage cables

• Neutral/stray currents

Mitigation of PFMFs from busbars

Busbars can have different shapes. Yet, longitudinal profiles are often common and it can be sometimes a reasonable approximation when designing geometries and selecting shielding material

Mitigation of PFMFs from HV/MV substations

Tutorial on Magnetic Field Mitigation Techniques, International Colloquium on ELF EMF, Sarajevo 3rd-4th June, 2009

•In HV substations, the highest magnetic fields are also registered at the secondary side

•However these are located mainly between the substation limits

•Some emission over the 1-microtesla level can be registered outside the substation boundaries

•A possible mitigation technique is distance management, i.e. moving the affected area or extending the fence some metres.
