Low Frequency Electromagnetic Field Technologies

University of Birmingham
Led by Mr P.R. Atkins

The aim of this work package is to conduct four inter-related studies based on low frequency electromagnetics.

The predicted deliverables include an improved prototype low frequency electromagnetic detection device for mapping the underworld (particularly small, near-surface services), both as a stand alone device and when incorporated into the multi-sensor device; a new methodology to predict insulation breakdown failures, and therefore the potential to detect leaks; and a matrix of operational capability of low frequency electromagnetic field systems will be developed.
