This paper presents the reduction characteristics of penetrated electromagnetic fields through a narrow slot in a planar conducting screen of infinite extent. When a plane wave is excited to the narrow slot, the aperture electric field is controlled by the parallel wire or parallel plate connected on the slot. The magnitude of penetrated electromagnetic fields through a narrow slot is controlled by electric field distributions on the slot. An integral equation for the aperture electric field on narrow slots is derived and solved by applying Galerkin's method of moments. The results show that the magnitude of the penetrated electromagnetic field can be effectively reduced by installing the parallel wire or parallel plate on the slot.

Background: Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are ubiquitous in modern society including medical field. As the technology of medical instruments and telecommunications has developed rapidly, it has influenced on our lives in many ways. Modern medical practice requires high quality medical equipments, which have a great deal of electromagnetic interference and susceptibility. The purpose of this study were to evaluate electromagnetic condition under usual clinical condition and to suggest a practical guideline in general hospital. Materials and Methods: The actual state of the electromagnetic interference in the medical field was studied under usual clinical conditions including operating rooms, intensive care units, magnetic resonance imaging unit, and hyperthermia unit. Results: There was considerable noise as a result of electromagnetic fields from medical equipments including electrosurgical units and hyperthermia unit, and cellular phones, which could induce serious functional derangements of functioning medical devices. Conclusion: It will be necessary to evaluate the individual electromagnetic situations under various medical conditions and to define a limited zone for cellular phone as well as reposition medical equipments to secure a safer medical practice and to minimize electromagnetic interference.

In this study electromagnetic wave fields under power lines arc derived by dipole antenna theory and electromagnetic fields under 3 phase power lines with horizontal and vertical configuration are formulated. The calculation results by those formulas were consistent with the results of reference. The formulas were applied to 345[kV] and 765[kV] transmission lines constructed in our country.

Serious troubles may occur in electromagnetic equipments due to electrostatic discharge (ESD). The number of the damaging incidents are significantly increasing with the increased use of integrated semiconductor elements with loer operation pwoer. In order to examine the phenomena theoretically, this paper anlyzes properties of the transient electromagnetic fields rdiated by ESD. A new model is presented using the Rompe-weizel formula for the spark resistance. The numerical results of ESD fields are compared with the experimental data that were given by wilson-Ma.

As the industry develops, they are interested in the fault of electric machines and the effect on human beings by electromagnetic fields and waves which generate through much use of electric machines and appliances. In foreign country, they confirmed the standard about electromagnetic interference and compatibility(EMI/EMC) of electromagnetic fields and waves generating electricity transmission/distribution equipments and electric appliance. In Korea, such criteria are applied too. Before EMI/EMC standard is applied, it is important to prepare the plan to predict and reduce electromagnetic fields and waves which generate in the inner and the outer part of electric machinery. To solve such a problem, they calculated Maxwell's equations by finite element method(FEM) and finite difference method(FDM) in most papers. However, these methods have the disadvantage that mathematical expansions are complex and need much memory allocations for grid and mesh generations. In this paper, we introduce transmission line matrix(TLM) method that media of which trains consists are regarded as transmission lines for electromagnetic field calculation in Korean High Speed Train, calculate the electric and magnetic field, and analyze the results.

This paper, presents the characteristics of electromagnetic fields radiated from a pole-transformer. The cylindrical cavity is used to measure electromagnetic fields radiated from a pole-transformer when partial discharge occures inside the pole-transformer. The theoretical analysis is conducted by a finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. As a result, frequency characteristics of the radiated electromagnetic waves emitted from the inside the cavity to the outside through the 1st and 2nd bushings could be observed for the configuration of the cylindrical cavity with a radiation window. The frequency characteristics of electromagnetic field are also studied according to the enclosure structure of the cylindrical cavity. To verify the theoretical analysis, computed results are compared to experimental results.

Background: This work presents an experimental and modeling study of the electromagnetic environment in the vicinity of a high voltage substation located in eastern Algeria (Annaba city) specified with a very high population density. The effects of electromagnetic fields emanating from the coupled multi-lines high voltage power systems (MLHV) on the health of the workers and people living in proximity of substations has been analyzed. Methods: Experimental Measurements for the Multi-lines power system proposed have been conducted in the free space under the high voltage lines. Field's intensities were measured using a referenced and calibrated electromagnetic field meter PMM8053B for the levels 0 m, 1 m, 1.5 m and 1.8 m witch present the sensitive's parts as organs and major functions (head, heart, pelvis and feet) of the human body. Results: The measurement results were validated by numerical simulation using the finite element method and these results are compared with the limit values of the international standards. Conclusion: We project to set own national standards for exposure to electromagnetic fields, in order to achieve a regional database that will be at the disposal of partners concerned to ensure safety of people and mainly workers inside high voltage electrical substations.

In this study, electromagnetic fields emitted from the various environment in the hospital were measured. Measurement spot was patients' head. To monitor how much magnetic fields are emitting from operation room, monitoring device was attached to 19 anesthesiologist and monitoring lasted 8 hours. We also took a measurement from various medical devices. Devices include ESWL, PET, MRI, CT, Gamma knife, X-ray, Angiogram, Echocardiogram, Upper GI and Linear Accelerator. Electromagnetic fields were measured from 10 spots from each of 5 patient waiting room. As a results, there were no places showing risk of high exposure. All the measurement values were below the reference levels for general public exposure to time varying electric and magnetic fields which is issued by ICNIRP.

This paper is to analyze electromagnetic fields on a 154kV substation system and induced voltages on the substation fence when the network is operating in a normal condition or a fault condition in which one phase is shorted with the overhead ground wire. Also, changing the scalar potential and electromagnetic fields that are changed in accordance with changing resistivity and permeability of ground are studied. A finding of the study is that the scalar potential and electromagnetic fields are raised near the tower: The values of electric field on the corner of fence and at the edge of the ground grid are higher than other locations.
