Abstract

To calculate the induced fields in the human body of the driver in an electric vehicle, the power cables of the electric vehicle are taken as the electromagnetic exposure source. The finite elements method is used to construct the electromagnetic environment model, which consists of the vehicle body, the power cables, and the driver body. The maximal values of the magnetic flux density inside the driver’s trunk and head are 4.63 μT and 0.12 μT, respectively. The maximal induced electric field intensity values are 670 mV/m and 99.7 mV/m, respectively. All values are below the safety limits of the ICNIRP. The results show that the electromagnetic environment induced by the power cables is safe for the driver. The study could provide a reference for improving electromagnetic exposure standards for electric vehicles.
