Abstract
The electromagnetic field shielding apparatus of the present invention includes the electromagnetic field detection coil 21 for detecting an AC leakage electromagnetic field and the parallel resonance circuit 22-24 whose circuit constants are predetermined so that the resonance frequency matches the frequency of the electromotive force induced by the electromagnetic field detection coil 21. The resistor 24 of the parallel resonance circuit 22-24 consumes energy so that the strengths of the magnetic and electrical fields passing through the electromagnetic field detection coil 21 are suppressed.
