Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)

Dirty Electricity Exposure

 Dirty Electricity also  termed as High Frequency Voltage Transients (HFVT). ​The frequency bands that are generated in connection with the production, transmission, distribution and use of electrical power usually have a frequency of 50 - 60 Hz​​. The term 'dirty electricity' refers to the electromagnetic energy flowing along a conductor that deviates from a pure 50 / 60 Hz sine wave and has both harmonic and transient properties (refers to spikes and surges of electromagnetic energy traveling along power lines and building wiring where only standard 50 / 60 Hz AC electricity should be). 

  • ​Electromagnetic Fields generated by RF transients or 'high voltage frequency transients. 
  • Created by electronics and other electrical devices that must change or manipulate standard electrical current in one or another in order to operate. 
  • Also known as "dirty power", "electrical noise", "line noise", and "power line EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) " 

Sources of Dirty Electricity Exposure

  • ​Fluorescent light bulbs and tubes
  • ​Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) 
  • Light Dimmer Switches
  • Charge inverters of ​Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panels (known to produce 20 kHz) 
  • Battery Charging device for cell phone, tablets etc
  • ​Switched mode power supplies in computer and printers
  • Motor control circuit board of variable speed furnace motors.
  • ​High Quality Audio and Home systems.
