Can Low Voltage Dry Type Transformers be mounted close to communication equipment and cables, or is there a danger of electrical interference?

Issue:
Possible electrical interference produced by Low Voltage Transformers

Product Line:
LV Transformers

Environment:
Applies to Low Voltage Transformers by SquareD/Schneider Electric

Cause:
Transformers create magnetic fields when energized


Resolution:

In general, the low frequency magnetic field surrounding loaded Transformers is comparable to that surrounding other ordinary electrical distribution equipment, such as cable trays, panelboards, conduit, switches, etc. Therefore, it is not normally correct to single out Transformers amongst other electrical equipment as a special EMF consideration. Consult with the manufacturer of the susceptible equipment for their recommendation on distance required from electrical distribution equipment.
