Electromagnetic fields
Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
equipment, such as transformers, motors, etc.
Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, which could cause them to
malfunction. Cardiac pacemakers can be affected, for example, which could cause serious
damage to health or even result in death. Steps must be taken, therefore, to ensure that
persons with heart pacemakers cannot enter these areas.
The plant operating company is responsible for taking appropriate measures (labels and
