Measurement and Prediction Method for Low-frequency Magnetic Fields on Railway Vehicles

抄録

In Japan, regulations on low-frequency magnetic fields came into force. Initial regulations in 2011 applied to power equipment in general, but the scope of regulatory control was expanded in 2012 to cover track-side railway power equipment. Although railway vehicles are not included in the scope of the regulation at the moment, it thought that it is necessary to assess magnetic fields in railway vehicles. As such a series of studies have been launched to develop a method to measure and predict low-frequency magnetic fields in railway vehicles.
