The purpose of the measurement effort was to evaluate the electrical environment existing on each of the PRT "hot" and neutral A.C. power lines and to assess the effect of each system on the power line with all other PRT systems turned off. The measurements obtained during this test will be used for a comparison with data obtained with no PRT systems operating and with all four PRT systems operating simultaneously.140
