Electrical power transmission and distribution networks are advancing day by day to overcome excessive power demand problem in the world. Increased power requirements lead to higher currents and hence accelerated magnetic fields. Recent studies have revealed that electrical network based magnetic fluxes are capable of resulting in various diseases especially different types of cancers. In addition to health problems, originated magnetic fluxes increase inductances in the power lines in which power losses are quite distinctive. Harmful magnetic effects are observed on transformer stations, distribution stations, overhead transmission lines and etc. In this study, in order to reduce the unwanted effects of magnetic fields in electrical networks, iron oxide based shielding materials are proposed. Iron is one of the few ferromagnetic substances in literature which is very effective. Just as iron, Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 compounds are also ferromagnetic oxides. In this study, these oxides are homogenously distributed in a polymer matrix and by the aid of this matrix desired shielding substance is produced. During the tests proposed shielding material is tested under magnetic field generated electrical equipment and corresponding performances are reported.
