High Voltage Overhead Power Lines - Dikomou street, Aradippou, Larnaka

This report was prepared by the Electromagnetics and Novel Applications Laboratory (Electromagnetics and Novel Applications Lab) of the University of Cyprus within the framework of measuring and assessing the electric and magnetic field levels by AC power systems at the location of interest:

·         Residence at Dikomou Street, P.O 7104, Aradippou, Larnaka from 15:10 until 17:00.

The measurements were performed according to the measurement procedures with regard to public exposure (IEC 62110:2009). More specifically, three-point measurements were performed to assess the fields (assuming non-uniform fields) in the range of 5 Hz – 32 kHz using the EFA-300 Isotropic Field Analyser. The measurements were performed at the position of interest at three heights 0.5 m, 1 m and 1.5 m. above the ground or floor level of the building.

The recorded measurements were compared to the reference levels described in the Council Recommendation of 12^th July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz), 1999/519/EC. Respect to the recommended reference levels will ensure respect of basic restrictions. The reference levels of exposure provided in 1999/519/EC are in accordance to the Cypriot Legislation.

The electric and magnetic field measurements performed at the position of interest were below the recommended reference levels of exposure provided in 1999/519/EC.

The highest magnetic field values measured at the location of interest are summarized in the following Table.
