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.
● As a consequence, it is not permissible for people with pacemakers to stand close to the
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.
Nominated persons in control of electrical installations can find further information on
electromagnetic fields under "Information for persons responsible for plants and systems."
