Electromagnetic fields in electrical power engineering installations

Electromagnetic fields are generated during operation of electrical power engineering
installations. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with electronic devices, These devices can
malfunction if electromagnetic fields are present.
Interference with pacemakers
The functioning of cardiac pacemakers could be impaired by electromagnetic fields. Death
or serious physical injury can result.
People with pacemakers are therefore not allowed to stay close to the drive.
NOTICE
Data loss
Electromagnetic fields can cause data loss to magnetic or electronic data storage media.
Therefore, do not carry magnetic or electronic data storage media with you.
For nominated persons in control of an electrical installation, you can find further information
on electromagnetic fields under "Information for nominated persons in control of an electrical
installation."
