What are low and high frequency electromagnetic waves?
There are two main types of electromagnetic waves:
- low frequency waves
- high frequency waves
Low-frequency electromagnetic waves are produced by electrical devices, high voltage (HV) and very high voltage (VHV) power lines, electrical transformer stations (electrical transformers), railways, subways and catenaries. electric meters, communicating or not, and electricity in general.
High frequency electromagnetic waves are generated by:
- television broadcasting and radio broadcasting (FM)
- GSM, UMTS (3G), LTE (4G), 5G mobile telephony
- DECT wireless home telephony
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- microwave ovens
- CB and amateur or professional radio communications (PMR, TETRA, ...)
- Radar systems
What units of measurement are used to quantify electromagnetic waves?
For low frequency electromagnetic waves, we measure:
- the electric field (in V/m)
- the magnetic field (in nT - nanoTesla - or in mG - milliGauss)
Regarding high frequency electromagnetic waves, we measure:
- the electric field (in V/m or in µW / m2)
For example: 1999 µW/m2 = 0.868 V/m and 19 990 µW/m2 = 2.745 V/m
Choosing a wave detector or an electromagnetic wave measuring device?
There are two main families of devices for detecting or measuring electromagnetic waves:
- wave detectors
- wave measuring devices
Electromagnetic wave detectors make it possible to quantify a level of exposure to electromagnetic pollution. Wave measuring devices give a numerical value in a given unit for the measured electromagnetic field.
What is an electromagnetic wave detector?
An electromagnetic wave detector is an instrument for assessing the level of intensity of electromagnetic waves. Via colored LEDs (green, yellow or red), it indicates the level of exposure to waves, for example:
- green: low level, no risk
- yellow: medium level, present risk
- red: high level, high exposure to waves, danger
Electromagnetic wave detectors are small, portable devices that fit easily into a pocket, so you can take them anywhere with you. They quickly make it possible to assess electromagnetic pollution in its environment. To know which range of numerical values a colored LED corresponds to, it is necessary to refer to the user manual of the detector, for example a yellow LED on can correspond to a level of 0.27 to 0.34 V/m in field electric high frequencies.
What is an electromagnetic wave measuring device?
A wave measuring device is an instrument with an LCD screen displaying precisely the measured value in digits of the intensity of the electromagnetic field measured in a given unit which depends on the type of electromagnetic wave (low frequency electric field, field low frequency magnetic or high frequency electric field).
What are the differences between the ESI22, ESI23 and ESI24 wave detectors? Which one to choose ?
| Detector / wave type | Low frequencies | High frequencies |
|---|---|---|
| ESI 22 | Yes | No |
| ESI 23 | Yes | Yes (50 MHz to 6 GHz) |
| ESI 24 | Yes | Yes (50 MHz to 10 GHz) |
These three detectors assess both the electric field and the magnetic field at low frequencies on separate LED lines.
All three have the function of checking the direction of connection of your electrical appliances (bedside lamps, etc.). An ungrounded electrical device often generates an electric field even when it is turned off, if the plug is plugged in the wrong way around. These detectors make it possible to check the direction of connection and thus reduce its exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic waves.
The ESI 23 and ESI 24 detectors are qualified as versatile because they detect both low frequency and high frequency electromagnetic waves (5G, Wifi,...).
The ESI 22 detector is particularly recommended in the event of an electromagnetic anomaly related to electricity (HV power line, electrified railway, electrical transformer, etc.) or in non-urban areas where high-frequency waves (WiFi, mobile telephony) , ...) are much less present than in urban areas, the main source of electromagnetic pollution being electricity in general and domestic electricity in particular.
The ESI24 wave detector has additional features compared to the ESI23 (for more information, see the product sheets).

- the Cemprotec 33 electromagnetic wave detector device (low and high frequency electromagnetic waves)
- the Cemprotec 34 electromagnetic wave detector device (low and high frequency electromagnetic waves)
These three devices have additional functions and extended measurement ranges compared to the range of ESI detectors.

How to choose the right protection against electromagnetic waves?
What effective protection against electromagnetic waves to choose? Anti-wave paints, anti-wave fabrics, anti-wave meshes and fleeces, anti-wave films for windows, demand switches,...? What electromagnetic field do they protect against?
Low frequency electromagnetic waves come from electric current (high voltage power lines, electrical transformers, electrical appliances, electrical panels and electrical meters, domestic electricity, etc.).
High-frequency electromagnetic waves are linked to WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile telephony (3G, 4G, 5G relay antennas), radio and television broadcasting, DECT-type domestic cordless telephones, radars, etc.
The first step in choosing the right electromagnetic wave protection is to carry out an electromagnetic diagnosis in order to determine the source of the electromagnetic pollution present.
Electromagnetic wave detectors are particularly suitable for individuals wishing to assess themselves the electromagnetic pollution present in their environment.
