Abstract

Nowadays, along with the explosive development of economic sectors in general and the construction industry in particular, the management and operation (M&O) of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems in civil and industrial constructions such as factories, workshops, hospitals, hotels, high-rise buildings, shopping centers, etc. play a crucial role and are always of concern to investors. However, one of the important issues in the M&O of the MEP system is the impact of magnetic fields generated by low-voltage power cables on the surrounding environment. This can cause interference to the control system as well as directly affect human health. Therefore, it is essential to study, analyze and calculate the distribution of magnetic fields generated by low-voltage power cables for the M&O of the MEP system. To answer this question, in this paper, the finite element approach is developed with the magnetic vector potential formulation to study and analyze the impact of magnetic fields under two scenarios: low-voltage power cables installed in cable trays and not installed in cable trays. The development of this method will be applied to practical problems.
