Substation - Substation Philiki, Residence 21, Ektoros Street
The measurements were performed on the 3rd December 2014 at 13:00 a.m during clear weather conditions. The EMF measurements were performed for the residence at 21 Ektoros Street and substation “Philiki” in Egkomi, Nicosia.

The substation is rated at a nominal power of 266 KVA. At the time when the measurements were performed the substation load was recorded as:
|
Red Phase |
Yellow Phase |
Blue Phase |
|
95A |
80A |
65A |
Table 2: Measured load current
From the resultant load of all three phases as shown above we note that the load is only 20.75 % of the nominal load (266 KVA Transformer).It must therefore be noted that during the summer or in periods of peak load this will directly affect and produce an increase to the electric and magnetic fields.
The highest magnetic eld measurement was observed at the right side of the substation, 0 m away from the substation starting point and at a height of 1 m. The measured value at this point was 0.29µT and a persentage of 0.29% as compared to the INCIRP General Public stantard.
A detailed description of the maximum measured magnetic fields in the area under investigation, outside the substation, is shown in the following table.
