Electric field measurement and analysis around a line model at different voltage levels

Abstract

The aim of this work is the experimental study of the electric field distribution around a line model in high voltage laboratory. Thereby study and knowledge of the electric field around a line at different voltage levels can be purposive for safety, settlements and design procedures of power lines. The measurements were carried out by using HOLADAY/HI-3604 electromagnetic field survey meter. Additionally, to compare the results obtained from the measurements, Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) packaged program is used. The results show that the electric field intensity around a distribution line is changing with the distance in any direction. The electric field under and also near the distribution line is influenced with the increasing voltage levels.
