Is it a problem to park a car under high-voltage power lines?
2 Answers
Parking under high-voltage lines not only affects the normal operation of the engine but can also damage electronic components with low resistance. If the power lines are intact, there is no major issue, but they can still affect the vehicle's circuits due to the strong magnetic fields generated by high-voltage electricity. Below are the safety hazards associated with high-voltage power lines: 1. High-voltage lines are prone to accidents: High-voltage lines pose safety risks and should ideally be laid underground. High-voltage towers themselves are conductors susceptible to lightning strikes, and people under these lines are at risk of electric shocks. 2. Harmful effects of magnetic fields from high-voltage lines on human health: The magnetic fields generated by high-voltage lines can be harmful within a certain range, affecting the central nervous system and causing motor dysfunction. Studies show that the incidence of leukemia in children living within 50 meters of high-voltage lines is three times higher than in those living farther away.
I think parking a car under high-voltage power lines is indeed not a good idea, mainly because of concerns about potential issues with the power lines, such as wires coming loose during strong winds and causing electric shock accidents—that would be extremely dangerous. In my previous neighborhood, there was a parking spot right next to high-voltage lines, and once after rain, it almost led to an incident. I suggest everyone carefully check the surrounding environment when choosing a parking spot and stay away from such hazardous areas. It's better to walk a few extra steps to a safer parking space for peace of mind.
