1. All fields calculated at 1 m above ground level
2. All fields are given to the same resolution for simplicity
of presentation (0.01 µT = 10 nT) but are not accurate to better
than a few percent.
3. Calculations at 132 kV and above ignore zero-sequence
current. This means values at larger distances are probably
underestimates, but this is unlikely to amount to more than
a few percent.
4. Cable designs are not standardised to the same extent
as overhead lines and the examples given here are representative.
