This report was prepared by the Electromagnetics and Novel Applications Laboratory of the University of Cyprus within the framework of measuring and assessing the electric and magnetic field levels by AC power systems at the location of interest:

  • Stadiou Street, Strovolos, 2058 Nicosia, in proximity to Substation “ZENIA ARTEMIS S/S GS2 4015”
The measurements were conducted on 15/02/2024 from 11:00 to 12:00 according to IEC 62110:2009. More specifically, the evaluation of low-frequency electromagnetic fields was performed in the range of 5 Hz – 32 kHz using the EFA-300 Isotropic Field Analyser. Measurements were taken at three different heights: 0.5 m, 1.0 m, and 1.5 m above ground or floor level.

The recorded measurements were compared to the reference levels described in the Council Recommendation of 12th July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz), 1999/519/EC. Compliance with these recommended levels ensures that basic restrictions are respected. These reference levels are aligned with Cypriot legislation.

The measurement positions and maximum results per location are summarized in the table below.
