Magnetic Fields of Power Lines Related to Maximal Sag Position

Abstract:- The possible health risk makes the assessment of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields of great interest. This paper deals with the lateral magnetic field profiles of overhead power lines. The profiles are related to the maximal sag position having the maximal magnetic field value, since the conductor heights are minimal there. Subsequently, the maximal field value could be compared to values arising from the (inter)national guidelines. A reasonably accurate agreement between computational results and the experimental data is obtained. Key-Words:- overhead power lines, magnetic field assessment, maximal sag position
