Abstract :
The authors describe a novel instrument which measures AC electromagnetic fields by using three detection coils and analog computation circuits. The instrument has a basic accuracy of 0.5% for frequencies up to 3 kHz. Three measurement methods have been incorporated in the meter: root mean square, average and 60 Hz average. The results of a measurement program at an elementary school located at the edge of a high-voltage transmission line right of way are discussed
