Measurement and Estimation of the Magnetic Fields in Electric Vehicles

To solve the problem of harmful emissions emitted by internal combustion vehicles such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, soot and others, the use of electric cars is proposed. These devices operate on electricity that induces “electromagnetic pollution” in or near them. The effects of electromagnetic fields on living organisms are undeniable, but it is not yet clear how harmful they are to humans. In electric car, passengers sit very close to an electrical system that operates at considerable power and for a long period of time. This means that consumers are exposed to artificial magnetic fields. Electric car manufacturers are very familiar with these problems and offer various technological solutions in their design and production. In the present article, experimental measurements of the magnetic fields generated by an electric car operating in different operating modes will be performed and recommendations for its proper operation will be given.
