Effect of Transmission Tower on Electric Field under Overhead Lines

Abstract:

This paper discusses effect of transmission tower on electric field under overhead lines. Charge simulation method is used. Transmission tower is taken into account by using a simplified frame. Segments of tower frame are represented by finite straight line charges. Overhead lines with conductor sag determined by catenary equation are also represented by finite straight line charges. Calculation results show that transmission tower has shielding effect on closed region and distortion effect nearby tower leg.
