P89272 Why all this sudden talk about halogens? What are they exactly? And why did Schneider Electric as early as in 2004 stop using flame retardants containing halogens? We would like to tell you more about this. Read more on the next page! 20 What are halogens? Halogens are formed when certain elements are being mixed. They are fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. One by one, in small quantities and in their natural spots, these salts and minerals do no harm. On the contrary, they are essential for various chemical processes in the earth crust and in the oceans. But ever since halogens came into use as flame retardants in electrical products, their injurious effects have become ovious. Much like lead, halogens are absorbed and stored by all living organisms, and they are decomposed just as slowly and are extremely toxic. Certificate All boxes are tested and approved acc. to the SEMKO standard for halogen-free materials. EN50267-2-2:1999. Why is it dangerous? Experiments on animals show that bromated flame retardants may have an effect on sex hormones and thyroxine. As a result, metabolic disturbance, learning difficulties, deteriorated memory functions and injuries to the liver, the skin and the central nervous system may arise. Before 1960 halogens were not in use, and studies have shown that people had no PBDE (halogens) in their blood at that time. But today the PBDE content is doubled every 5 years in both human beings and wild animals. For us 100% halogen-free material applies! We take you, your health and our environment just as seriously as we do the products that we produce and sell. Therefore, Schneider Electric decided as early as in 2004 to stop using halogen-containing flame retardants with immediate effect. Other companies have chosen to phase out their use.

ISC01543_09-2010_EN Electric and magnetic fields Electromagnetic fields include the two elements electric and magnetic fields. They usually appear together, but they can be separated and they have specific characteristics that differ in many respects. Both electric and magnetic fields appear naturally. Examples of natural presence are geomagnetic fields and electric fields occurring before a thunderstorm. These two phenomena exist from time immemorial and as far as we know it they are not injurious to man. The difference between the natural fields and those created by man is that the natural fields are static, i.e. they always have the same direction, whereas fields generated by alternating voltage with a frequency of 50 Hz, change direction 100 times per second. They are called low-frequency electric and magnetic alternating fields and these are the ones mainly discussed as far as fields in buildings are concerned. Electric fields Electric fields are stated in the unit volt per metre (V/m) and depend on the difference in tension and on the distance between two objects. Thus, there is no need for an appliance to be turned on in order to generate an electric field; the mere connecting of the plug to the wall socket will suffice. Electric fields cannot penetrate the human body, the charge stays in the skin. Most building materials can also provide a sufficient shield against electric fields. The best shielding effect is obtained from a conductive material, for instance a thin metal foil or a metal net that is connected to earth. Magnetic fields Magnetic fields are created where electric current is flowing through a conductor and are stated in the unit tesla (T). Since tesla is a very large unit, a millionth part (µT, micro-tesla) or a thousand millionth part (nT, nano-tesla) are usually preferred when stating magnetic fields. The force of the magnetic field depends on the amperage, on the distance from the object, and on the geometry of the object. The decrease of the field is slower with an increasing distance from a long and straight conductor, like an electric cable, than from a concentrated source, like a transformer or a clock-radio. At a distance of one metre, a stand-alone conductor originates a magnetic field of 0.2 µT (200nT) for each ampere flowing through it. Unlike the electric fields, the magnetic fields are very difficult to shield off. They pass unhindered through most common materials, including the human body. One way to reduce the exposure would be to let two equally large but counterdirectional fields cancel one another out. Two adjacent conductors of the same amperage in both directions would each produce a magnetic field of the same size but in the opposite direction to each other, which theoretically would result in no magnetic field at all. Thus, where the electric distribution mains are working as they should, i.e. the current that comes in equals the return current, the installations cause no or low magnetic fields. Unfortunately the current may sometimes find other ways back than through the return wire, which results in so called vagabond currents. Vagabond currents The Swedish electric distribution mains are constructed as a so called four-wire system, with three phases plus a joint neutral and protective conductor. If the casing of an electric appliance should become live, the intention is that the current should go back via the protective earth and the neutral conductor of the mains rather than through a human being touching the appliance. The water, the sewage and the district heating power systems are also normally earth protected in order to avoid similar accidents. Since the return current and the protective earth share a conductor in the four-wire system, there is a possibility for the return current to choose its way back. The current always takes the easiest way, so if there is a higher resistance in the ordinary mains than in the water pipes via protective earth, a considerable part of the return current can take the wrong way back. This results in two problems. Firstly magnetic fields are generated around the water pipes, where they should not exist at all, and secondly the phase current in the cables is no longer balanced by an equally large return current, which also results in increased magnetic fields. The currents that find other ways back than through the neutral conductors are called vagabond currents. The operating voltage of vagabond currents is often too low to be dangerous in itself, but the currents create magnetic fields where they should not exist. 45 Flush mounted boxes Multifix Shielded Technical information Vagabond currents (cont.) In a five-wire system the neutral and the protective conductor have been separated, and the return current has no other choice but to return through the neutral conductor. Water pipes and other earth-connected equipment are dead, as they should be, and since phase and return current are equal, the magnetic fields around water pipes will essentially cancel each other out.

The former “National Building Administration” has introduced the recommended values of 0.2 µT and 10 V/m that are used in most situations. These values have rather been based on what can be achieved with a reasonable amount of effort than on what has been medically demonstrated. The Principle of Precaution The Swedish authorities Arbetarskyddsstyrelsen (the Board for Occupational Safety and Health), Boverket (the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning), Elsäkerhetsverket (the National Electrical Safety Board), Socialstyrelsen (the National Board of Health and Welfare) and Statens Strålskyddsinstitut (the National Institute of Radiation Protection) have jointly made an evaluation of the conditions involved in introducing limit values of electric and magnetic fields. They established the fact that the prevailing research findings do not justify the introduction of limit values or other imperative measures. They are of the opinion, however, that a certain amount of precaution would not be out of place, since harmful effects cannot be ruled out. Therefore, the above mentioned authorities recommend the following principle of precaution: ”If measures to generally reduce the exposure can be taken at reasonable costs and other consequences, the aim should be to reduce fields that strongly differ from what can be seen as normal in the environment in question. When it comes to new electric plants and buildings the aim should, already at the planning stage, be to design and locate them so as to limit the exposure.” Limitation of electric fields By using shielded apparatus and junction boxes from the Schneider Electric system, in combination with shielded electric wiring conduits from Protec System and devices from Eljo El-San, a very good shield against electric fields is obtained. The shielded boxes with accessories have been developed and tested in combination with the device series Trend, El-San and with wiring conduits from Protec System. The tests of the system have been carried out at the EMC-Centre at Luleå Technical University. The results are shown in report 20056709 (Internal ID-No.). The assembly of the system creates a continuous shielded layer that catches the electric field induced in the cables and conveys it to the boxes. From the box the draining wire forwards the field to the earth connection. The boxes and the conduits both have an external shielding layer, which in combination with shielded devices and a shielded cover provides a shield against the electric field in all directions. Below the results from measurements of the electric field are shown, in a comparison between an unshielded installation and an installation using Schneider Electric Multifix shielded boxes, Eljo El-San switches and conduits from Protec System. The measurements have been carried out in different directions around the box at a distance of 30 cm. Limitation of magnetic fields Twisted single-insulated wire is recommended to reduce magnetic fields. To reduce vagabond currents a five-wire system is recommended.
