[RE-wrenches] Inverter causing migraine?

[William Dorsett]

Ron, the old inverters with heavy magnetic cores emitted some fairly strong EMF, and while I have never been concerned about them, those who are can build a grounded Faraday cage around them which will shield everything outside the cage. The size of the mesh corresponds to the length of the wave intercepted. If nothing else, your employee might benefit from the placebo effect.

I have a staff member that has begun complaining recently of feeling like a "rubber band was tightening around my head" and of migraines when we turn on an inverter. We have set up an Outback 3524 inverter in our store and it is charging a set of batteries. Whenever she complained we shut it off. It is creating a complicated situation and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this? We have customers that live in one room cabins with these inverters and have never had a complaint of this nature. No one else on staff has any problem with this. Her work area is situated 25' away from the inverter.
