Hi all,
I am designing vending machine to be used outdoors in a train station.
I am a mechanical engineer and i don't know much about electromagnetic fields.
The fact is based on what I have read, in train stations in which the train is working with electric power, the power lines are high voltage and low frequency. and high voltage (probably generating high current) with low frequency will make a powerful electromagnetic field.
1. is it true?
2. if it is true, what effect does this powerful electromagnetic have? (i've read that one of the effects is that it affects or damages electrical boards and components inside other machines, but i also don't know whether its true or not)
3. if it affects electrical components in my machine, how can i prevent it? should i use a specific material like stainless steel over mild steel or other materials? if so, does the thickness of the body matter?
thank you all in advance,
