Is it safe to live upstairs in the distribution room?
According to the staff, the power distribution rooms in general residential buildings are within the design scope of architectural engineering. According to the general design rules of power distribution stations in civil buildings, when there are houses, guest rooms, offices and other places directly above and below the power distribution stations, the power distribution stations should be shielded. In addition, power facilities do not produce radiation, and the electromagnetic fields generated by them are generally called extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields or power frequency electric fields and power frequency magnetic fields, rather than electromagnetic radiation. The intensity of electric and magnetic fields is similar to that of ordinary household appliances, so citizens need not be afraid. If citizens are worried, they can ask the environmental protection department to monitor electromagnetic radiation. For radiation standards, please refer to Technical Specification for Environmental Impact Assessment of Electromagnetic Radiation of 500kV EHV Power Transmission and Transformation Project. The limit of power frequency electric field is 4kV/m, and the limit of magnetic induction intensity is 0.1mt.
