20kv recovery station, is it a health hazard for immediate area?? 2

[10101001]

hello engineers, i have a question .
what effect would a recovery station that is power at 20 KV and 50 hz from the local power line would have on the immediate area around it? i mean i know it will produce some electromagnetic field around it, and that is not that good for the rezidents living next to it. I know that those things should be built NOT in a rezidential zone...they need it because they extend the infrastructure of the public transportation sistems .
The station is being built at max 5 meters from a house and there are houses all around it. I know that it's not HEALTHY for the inhabitants of the area. What i`m asking is, is that station a health hazard for the inhabitants living next to it? (i dont know what data i need to know in order to calculate the intensiti of the field at difrent points around it, and even if i knew how to do that , wich i will find out, i wouldn`t know what intensiti is damaging over time for the healt of the people)
The person living at 5m from that station already sued the local city hall..well not city because we live 10 km from a citi and we have a local hall, but the thing is i dont know if he`s gonna win the case. I live 3 houses farther away from the station so i have a particular interest in that case. IF this is a health hazard i will support and make sure he wins the case. BUT in order to do that i need to make them REALIZE WHY they should support me (to explain i need to understand it myself, that`s why i`m asking for your help) ...please if some1 could answer this post you will help me and my community greatly.

I do not think there may be any health hazard for 20 KV electrical distribution line. The lawyer may be able to find reference.
However I am afraid of fire hazard if there are poles and a
local PMT ( pole mounted transformer ) for supply.

Since the earth's magnetic field is 25 to 65 microT, [URL unfurl="true"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_magnetic_field#Intensity[/url]) perhaps the recovery station should be moved a bit. Clearly a recovery station is a place to recover from all the ill effects of EMF.

Gents... A recovery station is where all the local power station neutrals go so all that power lost on the neutral can be recovered and sold back to the grid by the evil power company, who takes all the profits for themselves!


Sorry - I was reminded a post a few years back about a device you connect to your home service panel that apparently collected all the 'wasted' electrons on the neutral and sent them back into your service panel, thus lowering your power bill.

But the greatest Electrical Pioneer of them all was Thomas Edison, who was a brilliant inventor despite the fact that he had little formal education and lived in New Jersey. Edison's first major invention in 1877 was the phonograph, which could soon be found in thousands of American homes, where it basically sat until 1923, when the record was invented. But Edison's greatest achievement came in 1879 when he invented the electric company. Edison's design was a brilliant adaptation of the simple electrical circuit: the electric company sends electricity through a wire to a customer, then immediately gets the electricity back through another wire, then (this is the brilliant part) sends it right back to the customer again.

This means that an electric company can sell a customer the same batch of electricity thousands of times a day and never get caught, since very few customers take the time to examine their electricity closely. In fact, the last year any new electricity was generated was 1937.

It is only me being honest+ (more honest than Abe, actually) that stops me from being filthy rich.

The following is proof:

"Gunnar Englund of Gransbergsdal, Sweden, once proposed some filters for line power that would filter out any electric power generated with nuclear power. He figured he could sell lots of them to environmental fanatics, with the guarantee that the output power will not show any nuclear residues. But then he got nervous about prospects of a criminal record, even though his guarantee would surely hold up"

Bob never learnt how to spell Granbergsdal. We were exchanging paper letters and faxes (this was a long time ago) and he got it right just once. And then he was killed. I liked him a lot.

No mention of Tesla, who's development of Alternating Current allowed the same effects with most of the electrons never leaving the customers premises. All the advantages without ever having to actually return the electrons. The increase in efficiency must have been orders of magnitude squared for distant customers.

.... That sounds like it came striaght out of a Kurt Vonnegut novel. Kudos.
