Magnetic fields encountered in electric transport: Rail systems, trolleybus and cars

Abstract

The recent tendency to move from conventional combustion-based mobility to electric mobility poses many questions, some of which are connected to electromagnetic compatibility. In view of this it became necessary to measure and evaluate magnetic field inside electric mobility systems. We present here results of our study of magnetic fields on different electrified transport systems (electric trains, metro, trams and trolleybus) and compare them with scanty information on magnetic fields onboard electric/hybrid cars.
