Effect of magnetic fields of power plants on the environment in the zone Podi - Dugopolje
Abstract
The “Podi” business and residential zone in the Dugopolje municipality is located in the area south of the Split-Sinj expressway and mainly east of the Dugopolje-Koprivno local road. It is largely equipped with utilities, with a large number of business buildings already built (or under construction). In addition to the construction of business buildings, the plan is to also delimit the area for residential construction (see the attached geodetic map). However, the zone is intersected by two transmission lines. Every active power facility is a source of electromagnetic fields. In the vicinity of the source (at a distance much smaller than the wavelength, which for the fundamental wave is about 6000 km), it is possible and appropriate to observe the electromagnetic field as two more or less independent components: ELECTRIC FIELD and MAGNETIC FIELD. The good agreement of the results obtained by measuring in the vicinity of the transmission line and those obtained by calculation indicates, on the one hand, the reliability of the measured values, and on the other hand, the acceptability of the model for field calculation. This then enables reliable interpolation and extrapolation of field values in space and for different possible current loads of the transmission line. From this, it can be concluded that in the zone 60 m from the axis of the 400 kV transmission line and 40 m from the axis of the 110 kV transmission line, the construction of facilities intended for the population with increased sensitivity (school, hospital, kindergarten, children’s playgrounds, etc.) should be avoided.
