Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields are generated by high voltage powerlines, transformers in residential properties and workplacesElectromagnetic fields, and electrical equipment. Health concerns are centred on the magnetic component of the ELF fields, usually measured in units of microTesla. There is a certain amount of evidence statistically linking exposures to ELF fields with leukemia in children at levels above 0.4 microTesla, but the legal threshold limits for public exposures in most countries is set many times higher, at 100 microTesla. Although the exact nature of the stastical link between ELF fields and cancer in children remains controversial, it is sensible to adopt a precautionary approach with respect to exposure to electromagnetic fields and reduce exposures in living and working spaces when reasonably possible. We supply electromagnetic field testing equipment and measurement services to enable surveys of the electromagnetic field intensity in your home, building or workplace to establish exposure levels and provide guidance for action if recommended precautionary thresholds are exceeded.

 

ELF electromagnetic field measurement

We supply a range electromagnetic field meters suitable for professionals and private individuals to enable measurement of exposure to ELF electromagnetic fields arising from high voltage power transmission lines, electrical substations, domestic electrical appliances, electrical equipment, etc.

EMF-822A - an economically priced meter designed specifically for householders who wish to measure their exposure to low frequency electromagnetic fields generated by nearby power transmission lines, transformers, electrical appliances, etc. The EMF-822A measures on single-axis, which means that the user must rotate the instruement and record the highest reading. Measures magnetic field strength (magnetic flux density) in units of microTesla or milliGauss (switchable).

Measurement: single axis
Frequency range: 30 - 300 Hz
Dynamic range: 0.00 - 19.99 microTesla / 0.1 - 199.9 milliGauss
Dimensions: 132 x 71 x 25 mm

EMF-828- a teslameter/gaussmeter with a triple axis external probe used to measure magnetic fields generated by power transmission lines, transformers, electrical machinery, appliances etc. Measurement units can be switched between microTesla and milliGauss, while a range button allows accurate measurements to be made over a wide dynamic range. A button on the front panel switches between each measurement axis.

Measurement: triple axis
Frequency range: 30 - 300 Hz
Dynamic range: 0.00 - 2000 microTesla / 0.0 - 20000 milliGauss
Dimensions: 195 x 68 x 30 mm (base unit), 220 x 58 x 70 mm (probe)

FW Bell 4080 F50 - a compact three-axis device with internal sensor measuring in units of milliGauss. The F50 option is calibrated at 50 Hz (60Hz calibration also available).

Measurement: triple axis
Frequency range: 25 - 1000 Hz
Dynamic range: 0.1 - 511.1 milliGauss
Dimensions: 120 x 67 x 25 mm
