Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Architectural Magnetic Shielding

In addition to the growing public concern regarding the possible influence of power frequency electromagnetic fields on human health, ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) power frequency electromagnetic fields can also pose a significant effect on computer and other sensitive electronics, data processing, communication, and medical equipment. 


Recognizing this, C-INTECH has designed, developed and successfully tested shielding methods for standard situations, such as the intrusive magnetic fields radiating from distant overhead lines, as well as localized sources, such as distribution transformers, contactors, motors, cables power distribution feeders, and busducts. Custom-designed electromagnetic shields to suit a customer’s particular needs can also be provided. Performance characteristics of all design alternatives considered are verified and optimized using finite element analysis (FEA) computer simulations.
