Health protection reference levels for voltages and currents in typical domestic electrical installations

Abstract

Health protection reference levels were established for electric and magnetic fields. However, the corresponding reference levels for voltages and currents in cables could not be established in the general case, since they strongly depend on each particular situation. In this paper, health protection reference levels for voltages and currents are obtained for the relevant case of typical domestic electrical installations. Then, voltages and currents of most common signals in these installations are compared with these reference levels.
