Analysis of Shock Effect Generated by Vehicles on Human Body under HVAC Transmission Lines

Abstract:

The shock effect has been analyzed when the human body touches different types of vehicles in power frequency electric field. It solved the problem of influence of induced voltage generated by high voltage AC Power Lines on human Body. The induced voltage value of the human body and three different types of vehicles has been calculated by the soft of ANSYS in this paper. The results indicate that the human body will be shocked by two processes of transient and steady state. The influence of shock effect of transient and steady state on human body has been selectively analyzed when the human body touches vehicles. The proposed models and algorithm has the advantages of simple calculation procedure, small calculation burden and convenient to engineering application. It can be applied to the shock effect when the human body touches metal objects with different potential in power frequency electric field. It is worth being populated.
