Need new structure wiring info.

[Guest guest]

Hi, thanks ahead for any input, things are just very hectic right

now, and I hope to catch up on more of the recent posts a few weeks

from now, especially the clothing ones.

---

I have a new neighbor building a shop next to me, that agreed to

build as emf safe as possible. (We made that part of the land

purchase agreement on new structures).

What I need to know is on the wiring, we're looking at the mucord on

lessemf, which is fine for regular wiring. Could it be run in

parallel if needed for heavier needs as below?

-What is best to use for heavier, like 220v or three phase for

electrical and magnetic shielding?

I saw " spira-shield " which is cost prohibitive for any length run.

Romex is already on hand for the regular wiring, and is what we would

like to use depending on the cost of shileding, if there is a

reasonable conduit for it, but does metal w/o the spiral take care of

the magnetic field, and then what of the electrical? We want both the

electrical and mag. field taken care of, so I'm wondering if besides

iron based conduit, there needs to be a separate one for the

electrical field?

Or, there is the armored cable, harder to work with at the junctures,

but from reading; I saw somewhere it is to protect it from mag.

fields that are coming in to it, but wasn't clear if the reverse was

true?

I found this: " Use 3 wire shielded cable (BX) for wiring a home. The

metallic jacket shields Electric Fields. (aluminum or steel shielded)

(AC - armored cable).TECK cable is AC with an additional external

thermoplastic sheath. "

Again Romex is the preferred if we can shield it properly, and/or the

mucord. I need to know this in the next few days, so they can get

started.

Thanks,

I don't think these wiring issues will affect you unless you visit

his place. The things that could affect you are more likely to be

loose connections (arcing) bad switches (arcing) ground currents.

The cheapest thing is to use 3 (+ground) conductor romex, the

kind with the round sheath (not the new flat kind). It's usually

used for 3-way switches, but the point is it has a twist to it so

the magnetic cancellation is much better. It doesn't address the

electric field, and it's not legal to put it in conduit (because heat

can't get out as well). But if you put grounded aluminum foil on

the wall, the electric field is gone. The electric field won't affect

you anyway in the next house.

I would not worry so much about wiring in a neighbor, but insist

there be no fluorescents, HID lights, maybe no dimmer switches,

wireless anything,

220 volts is a good thing--true 220V appliances are less likely to

give you ground currents.

If he's doing arc welding or anything horrific like that, try to get

some serious filters put in, with specs down to 15 or 50 kHz.
