Abstract

The configuration of the magnetic field of a transmission line as well as the amplitudes and the vectors of the field are generally well known today 1, 2. The magnetic field can interfere electrically with sensitive electric circuits in control, measuring and communication equipment. In such cases it can be necessary to reduce the magnetic field at or around the location of interference. The paper describes the various methods which can practically be applied to reduce the magnetic field, ranging from shielding methods to varying the conductor arrangement on the tower or compensating the field by a counter field. Some of the methods were tested near a real line. It is shown that in a limited space and with a reasonable effort it is possible to reduce the magnetic field of transmission lines to amplitudes which cause no critical interference. Out of the various methods investigated, classified and assessed in the paper the shielding by sheet copper or steel appears to be most effective with the advantage of low running cost.
