Skogsgurra ,
I'm not exactly worried, I just find it strange that I feel at it a much higher intensity level than I ever did before. Maybe I was acclimitized to it. My real concerns are two. First (and this is probobly the least) would I be able to return to the field on a day to day basis...
Skogsgurra,
I can tell you that for me it's a physical reaction. I know the mind can influence that sort of thing, but the first couple of times I noticed it, I wasn't even thinking about it. Keep in mind, that I've worked near energized equipment for 7+ years and was exposed to it daily...
zer0sequence,
Option 2 sea more likely :). Some of these stations are the exact same as I was in while in the field, and their load currents were high back then too. Standard bus spacing too. I've come to believe that for some reason I've developed a bit of hypersensitivity to fhe emf. I was...

I'm pretty sure it's a physical reaction. The second time I noticed it I was simply walking parallel to a 345 bus and I felt it in the arm closest to the bus. It doesn't seem to happen in every yard either. One day i was at a yard and felt it 30 minutes later at Nother yard it wasn't...

I can definitely feel the field as I get closer (horizontally not vertically obviously) I feel the inrensity increase. Feels like the hair starts standing up and arms get tingly-kind of like an intense "sleepy limb" and just overall unsettling throughout the body
rmw,
I suppose it's possible, but I doubt it. These were some pretty distinct feelings and I think I would have noticed before. I also had someone with me who works in my office and is not in the field on an everyday basis and he felt nothing. The only thing I can think of that is different...
One time it was cold with snow on the ground, but today it was close to 50 and normal humidity. I would say of the four or five times, it's been cold most of them. Only one was extremely humid.
Doesn't seem too likely. Where would these "iron deposits" come from, and why do I have them now and not 3 years ago? Why are they only in my extremities? By the way, I've felt it in my face, ears as well. It's just the most noticeable in my arms.
I've been working in the utility industry for the past 11 years. Up until about 3 and 1/2 years ago I was a field employee and was in or near high voltage substations almost daily. More recently, I've been in an office enviornment with occasional trips to the field. Recently (in the past year...
