28、ting structure, in which the electric and magnetic fields do not have a substantially plane-wave character, but vary considerably from point to point. The near-field region is further subdivided into the reactive near-field region, which is closest to the radiating structure and that contains most o

29、r nearly all of the stored energy, and the radiating near-field region where the radiation field predominates over the reactive field, but lacks substantial plane-wave character and is complicated in structure 3.5 broadcasting service radiocommunication service in which the transmissions are intende

30、d for direct reception by the general public. This service may include sound transmissions, television transmissions or other types of transmission e.g. data 3.6 broadcast site site operating one or more broadcast transmitters 3.7 contact current current flowing into the body resulting from contact

31、with a conductive object in an electromagnetic field. This is the localised current flow into the body (usually the hand, for a light brushing contact). Shocks and burns can be the adverse indirect effects. Contact current relates to a short term effect and cannot be time-averaged 3.8 induced curren

33、50496:2008 - 6 - 3.10 exposure limit values limits on exposure to electromagnetic fields in 8 which are based directly on established health effects and biological considerations. Compliance with these limits will ensure that workers exposed to electromagnetic fields are protected against all known

34、adverse health effects of electromagnetic fields 3.11 local safety Instruction safety instructions relating to a specific broadcast site and containing the information specified in Clause 8: it must include all the necessary safety-related indications and, if applicable, point out the possible risk

35、of exposure to electromagnetic fields where these are at levels above the worker action values; it could include all the necessary safety-related indications and, if applicable, point out the possible risk of exposure to electromagnetic fields where these are at levels above the limits for the gener

38、 lines, etc. 4 Assessment methods 4.1 Worker exposure assessment The assessment should be done using the steps outlined below: collection of technical data (Clause 5); determination of exposure levels by calculation or measurement (Clause 6). This includes checking of operating procedures in the dif

39、ferent exposure work places (Clause 8). The results of the assessment process are: zoning of exposure work places (Clause 7); information and training (Clause 9); assessment report (Clause 10). In the case of simultaneous exposure to multiple sources, the combined exposure shall be considered, refer

40、ring to Annex A. 4.2 Use of public exposure assessment If an evaluation has already been undertaken in accordance with the provisions of Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC 7, and the restrictions as specified therein are respected, then the exposure limit values for workers of 8 are also met. BS EN

41、50496:2008- 7 - EN 50496:2008 4.3 Assessment after technical modification After technical modification like maintenance or repair of the installation or the environment, it is necessary to consider repeating or revising the assessment. This is particularly necessary if an additional transmitter or a

42、ntenna is added to a site where there are already one or more transmitters. 5 Collection of technical data Information on the following items may be needed: with regard to the surrounding area - information on the nature of the field from any external sources should be obtained from the operators of

43、 those sources. Examples of useful information are the frequency, the type of service, and whether the transmissions are intermittent. However, it should be noted that much of the detailed information may be commercially sensitive. with regard to the site - the area controlled e.g. information on pr

44、operty, fencing, where the controlled area is bounded, - the site map showing all facilities, e.g. buildings, towers, anchor cables, earth net, - the several areas - where a public assessment has been done in compliance with 7 or national regulation, - where workers have access without specific care

45、, - where workers have only access under specific circumstances. with regard to ELF emissions, the location of all 50 Hz site power supplies or transformers connected to low voltage networks. with regard to the radio-frequency emissions, for each relevant source - the mechanical configuration of the

46、 antennas, geometric dimensions, construction drawings, position in the mast, etc., - radiation pattern, polarisation and gain of antennas, - maximum and nominal power transmitter, - frequency, type of modulation (AM, FM, COFDM, etc.), channel bandwidth, - feeder type and length, attenuation/meter,

47、- additional losses (combiners, patch panels, antenna cables and power dividers). - with regard to scheduling - transmitting time table (especially for short wave), - permitted operating configuration. 6 Determination of exposure levels by calculation or measurement The collection of data permits to

48、 take into account the identification of sources of electromagnetic fields in or around the site during the assessment. However, this standard does not directly address product performance standards, which are intended to limit electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions under specified test conditions. 6

49、.1 Methodologies The work place is often in near field conditions where the situation is rather more complicated than in the far field. This is because the maxima and minima of the E and H fields do not occur together along the direction of propagation as they do in the far field. In the near field, the electromagnetic field structure may be highly inhomogeneous, and there may be substantial variations from the plane-wave impedance of 377 ohms; that is, there may be preponderant E fields
