QUOTE(rontan_83 @ Jul 7 2013, 05:37 PM) I am an electrical engineer working in singapore building construction industry....the myth that staying near to TNB substation is hazardous for health, is totally untrue....the electromagnetic field generated by the Low Voltage Main switchboard is very little and can be neglected ...hence, it is 100% safe staying next to TNB substation..... in fact, Singapore, which is very stringent in health related matter, many apartment units were built next to substation.... I never heard of any residents facing any health related matter.... as long as your home not built near 230kV Power station, it should be fine.... ahah....welcome to Malaysia  , this is not Singapore http://www.thestar.com.my/story.aspx?file=...386&sec=central |

QUOTE(Chigme @ Jul 6 2013, 11:17 AM) I believe it is not wise to stay next to TNB room You go try making calls near the TNB room, no reception maybe because lots of electromagnetic field. oni switching transients MAY cause such kind of noise. electrical THD should not give out field that can disturb the reception. 50Hz electricity CANNOT affect the cell phone reception as the operation freq is too far apart. |

Electrical lines maybe harmful...maybe only
but TNB substation not harmful at all....all condos and shop houses will have TNB sub station attached to 1 of the units. Just use common sense la, if they are slightly dangerous, the walls must be fortified loh...and if really dangerous, do you think they can be allowed to be put so near?

Everyday take in the radiation generated from the interchange.If don't believe you can buy a radiation measurement units and go and measure. I been working in electricity stuff for more than 7 years anything step down from a 500kv to 240v 60hz will for sure generate high amount of radiation. Once you stays in you will feel the different, especially headache symptom without any sickness. This post has been edited by soules83: Jul 8 2013, 08:52 AM |

I am not a technical person so cannot argue on those scientific findings, hence i can just describe the actual happening about the no cell phone reception thing next the substation. |

If that happens you are on risk....the safety specification of that substation has out.....sorry to be rude to TNB...seriously I think Malaysian style is I don't care and I do when I feel like it. As a house owner you won't know what specification are running. My suggestion is get a radiation measurement unit to monitor and complain from time to time. Stills, I don't prefer house that just next to substation. I had enough headache from electricity radiation. This post has been edited by soules83: Jul 8 2013, 09:09 AM |

signal weak/lost for hand phone when you stay near TNB.
Try make a phone call at TNB station.

There are high amounts of electricity passing through the TNB substation. A fault can cause fire and some small explosion. If the house is some distance from it - say 20 ft. I guess ok. There is also possible humming noise due to fluctuation. Lastly, they usually install some loud emergency alarm, which will go on and on until TNB switch it off (which I guess is pretty rare - but extremely annoying when it happens at night).

If have strong radiation / electromagnetic field, that will damage the the electronic appliances?
Will it be thunder magnet?

If you don't feel safe, then better don't stay near the TNB station.
Staying in a house and worry everyday that something might happen to you is bad for your emotion, can't relax or sleep well.

I think no resell value is more important. I wont consider to buy a house which is facing TNB room or near by TNB room.

If you want to live near also ok. I think having live in taman with this TNB room, I believe it has sounded the alarm like less than 5 times in 7 years. |
