Powerlines, substations and mobile phone base stations. How far away is safe?
Powerwatch - Frequently Asked QuestionsThis is a question we are often asked and, unfortunately, there is no easy answer. The research into the health effects of electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) from these structures has primarily focussed on field levels rather then distance. Powerlines, which are part of the electricity distribution system, come in various sizes (voltages) from 400 kilovolts (kV) (largest) to 230 volts (smallest). See similar questions...
How far away can I get from base stations and still get a good position?
ARTGNSince this depends on what kind of accuracy the user needs, there is no single answer to this question. Whatever distance limitations the user normally uses with RTK operations apply to the system network. Many users routinely use our system with base stations up to six or even ten miles away. For most RTK operations six miles is safe. Users sometimes get satisfactory results from ten to thirty miles away but, the process becomes less dependable and accuracy degrades at those distances.

What is the safe distance for people from powerlines?
Frequently Asked Questions: EMF ShieldingThe magnetic field from a powerline decreases with distance, for sure. But the magnetic field from a powerline varies from moment to moment depending on how much current is flowing in the wire at the time. It will be higher during peak electricity usage times. So the only way to know how strong the field is at a given distance, AT ANY PARTICULAR MOMENT, is to measure it with a gaussmeter. We always recommend taking multiple measurements at various times during the day. See similar questions...
