Proximity Effects of High Voltage Transmission Lines on Humans
ACEEE International Journal on Electrical and Power Engineering, 3 (1): 5 (February 2012)
Abstract
Recently new threats to humans are observed from
electromagnetic radiation from various sources like mobile
phones, transmission lines and many more. For providing
continuous and uninterrupted supply of electric power to
consumer’s maintenance operation of high voltage power lines
are often performed with systems energized or live. This is
referred as Hot Line maintenance or live line maintenance
in this paper authors are concentrating on effects due to high
voltage transmission lines on persons involved in this live
line maintenance. The main aim of this paper is to create a
model for health hazards in high voltage transmission lines. In
this paper just a theoretical approach is presented, in coming
days the model suggested will be prepared with ANSYS or
MATLAB. The results of actual field reading will be compared
with the mathematical model and will be presented as next
part of research work.
