The Sydney light rail expansion is planned to service the University of New South Wale (UNSW) campus will be an extension of a 750 VDC overhead catenary cable traction system with return currents traveling on the two rails between substations. Baseline measurements were recorded within seven research facilities located in the upper and lower side of the campus. The survey was commissioned to bench-mark  pre-existing conditions before the commencement of light rail construction. In addition to the campus data collection, Vitatech recorded timed quasi-static DC magnetic flux density data emanating from the Sydney Light Rail network at the park adjacent to Hawthorne Station.
