Effects of electric fields on large animals. Interim report

Biological effects of high-strength electric fields on small laboratory animals. Interim report, March 1, 1978-September 30, 1979

“…Unperturbed Eleotr-JO'-Field Measurements. The unperturbed electric field between the exposure electrodes was measured on the surface of the lower electrode using a flat disc probe, which has been described elsewhere (Phillips et al, 1976b;Kaune, in press). This probe provided a measurement of the average surface field over a 5-cmdiameter circle.…”

“…The Special Studies Exposure System was used to generate vertical, uniform, 60-Hz electric fields for use during the tests described here. This system consisted of two planar 1.0-m x 1.8-m parallel metal electrodes, separated by a gap of 0.55 m (Phillips et al,, 1976a;Kaune, in press). The upper electrode was energized and the lower one was grounded.…”
