Serious question

[jono1987]

Hi all, serious question, i highlight this as i am aware there are various witty answers to this but...........

Do you use magnets as an electrician ? and if so what type ? i am not allowed to use strong magnets for medical reasons.

Thank you all in advance for your response.

As an electrician it is possible to come into contact with various electromagnetic equipment ( contactors, relays) and electromagnetic fields. I would suggest you would need to more closely define how strong the magnets are you cannot come into contact with

Other problem would be that electricians don't go round measuring measuring the magnetic fields they come into contact with unless they are involved in R.F. work

For God’s don’t go near an induction furnace then. I could feel the screwdrivers in my pocket vibrating when near the power leads to a 2MW inductor.

Probably no more than anybody else; every wire carrying an electric current emits a weak magnetic field.
