What Reflects EMFs (Part 02): Magnetic Field Shielding
Part 01 of this article explored the different types of commercially available materials used in RF shielding and electric field shielding.
In Part 02, we’re going over the sources of these fields and materials and ways to shield against elevated magnetic fields.
Unfortunately, elevated magnetic fields can be difficult to shield against. These fields are primarily produced by wiring errors, stray current coming in on utility lines, appliances and external power lines.
We’ll go over each below.
Wiring Errors
Electrical wiring issues are a fairly common occurrence and can lead to some shockingly high magnetic fields. If your testing yields high results, instead of shielding for these, you’ll want to have an electrician simply fix the issue.
Stray Current
Sometimes, wiring errors from neighbors can lead to stray current coming into your home on water and other utility lines. An EMF expert can help diagnose the problem and then you’ll want to hire a plumber, cable guy or other professional to eliminate the problem.
Appliances
Appliances, such as refrigerators, can sometimes give off decent sized magnetic fields for a short distance. These are a good case uses for shielding.
A good product for shielding these point sources is G-Iron ArmoFlex.
External Power Lines
These are a very common source of elevated magnetic fields in people’s homes. Unfortunately, these fields aren’t easy to shield against.
There is a process called “Active Field Cancellation” that Charles Keen of EMF Services, LLC provides. It isn’t cheap and requires a lot of space on the property, but can be a solution for those of you with elevated fields from power lines.
