| Abstract |
Exposure to magnetic fields related to electrical power equipment has been implicated as a risk to the public. Many commercially available instruments may be used by the public to survey these fields in the environment. This report gives the results of a testing effort designed to determine the characteristics of these commercially available magnetic field survey meters. The devices tested were limited to coil type single axis meters having either analog or digital readout. Excluded from this test were computer driven devices, multi-axis devices, and devices utilizing non-coil type sensing probes. All manufacturers known to the EPA at the time of the test were solicited to submit their meters for testing. Each manufacturer was requested to submit two items of each type. In addition, several instruments were purchased from manufacturers. The test results show a broad range of meter characteristics and should be helpful for evaluation of a meter for various different applications. |
