Abstract

Recently, electromagnetic environments and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in relation to electrical equipment have become important issues. In 2008, the European Union established the EN 50500 standard, which provides measurement and calculation methods for determining magnetic fields emitted from electrical equipment on railways. The major frequency components of the electric and magnetic fields generated from such equipment are in the low range, such as D.C., 16.7 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz and their low-order harmonics. According to the EN 50500 standard, magnetic fields are dominant around this kind of equipment. This paper describes the physical characteristics and analytical methods of low-frequency magnetic fields emitted from electrical equipment in railway substations, and proposes abatement measures and model substation designs based on the above results.
