Summary:
This measurement study quantified the EMF levels emitted from the equipment employed in a solar farm. The conversion of solar to electric power involves a series of inverters and transformers that may result in high ELF MF level in close proximity. The highest ELF MF levels measured were directly adjacent to transformers and inverters, which were close to but still below the general public limit set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP, 2010 (PDF 641 kb)). However, at 30 centimetres from the transformer surface, the ELF MF level dropped to 5 times lower than the ICNIRP’s general public limit.
