2.10 Electromagnetic fields when operating electrical power engineering
installations
Interference with electronic devices caused by electromagnetic fields when operating
electrical power engineering installations
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
installations. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices,
resulting in malfunctioning of those devices. The operation of heart pacemakers can be
impaired, potentially leading to damage to a person's health or even death. It is therefore
forbidden for persons with heart pacemakers to come into the vicinity of the machine. Data
may be lost from magnetic or electronic data media. As the operator of the installation, you
must take the following measures:
● Ensure that the personnel working in these areas are adequately protected from any harm
● Observe the nationally applicable health and safety regulations.
● Do not carry any magnetic or electronic data media with you.
