Substation - Substation Alkidas, 3 Nicou Demetriou Street

The measured substation and residence are located in Nicou Demetriou Street in Larnaca. The measurements were performed on the 23rd of April 2009 at 09:30 am.

The substation is rated at a nominal power of 315 KVA. At the time when the measurements were performed, the substation load power was recorded as:

Red Phase

Yellow Phase

Blue Phase

115 A

135 A

135 A

Table 1: Measured load current


The resultant load of all three phases was 29.33% utilization of the nominal load current.

Limiting exposure values have been provided by the ICNIRP recommendations and are guidelines to many countries and organizations. The exposure limits at 50 Hz are tabulated in the following table according to the limits given by ICNIRP.
