Abstract

Overview

Exploring the impact of electromagnetic fields from electric vehicle inverters on human health, this study leverages the principles of electromagnetic dosimetry.

Findings

  • Construction of an electromagnetic model including a pure electric vehicle body, adult human body, and inverter.
  • Application of the finite element method to compute magnetic induction intensity (|B|), induced electric field intensity (|E|), and induced current density (|J|) in the human trunk and central nervous system of vehicle passengers.
  • Comparative analysis with the exposure limits provided by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP).

Conclusion

Results indicate that the electromagnetic fields generated are well below the ICNIRP safety exposure limits, highlighting a negligible health risk under these conditions. However, continuous exposure and long-term effects should be monitored closely to ensure complete safety.
