Electromagnetic safety of railway electrification systems under deicing

Assessment of Human Exposure (Including Interference to Implantable Devices) to Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Field in Modern Microgrids, Power Systems and Electric Transports

“…Higher ranges are used for wireless power transfer of applications other than electric vehicles and are characterized by a much lower power level (e.g., charging of tools and appliances). Electrified transports (trolleybuses, trams, metros and railways) may cause relevant exposure on-board for workers and passengers [22][23][24][25], they can be possibly exposed also when standing at the platform, for which the EN 50500 [26] distinguishes suitable selections of measurement points. It has been observed that the frequency range limited to 20 kHz [25] does not capture the whole relevant set of emissions, in particular for new technologies and power drives [27].…”
