Abstract

Electric Field Exposure Assessments and a Novel Control Method for Buildings Installed Nearby High-Voltage Lines Shemshadi A, Maleki AK. Electric Field Exposure Assessments and a Novel Control Method for Buildings Installed Nearby High-Voltage Lines. Indian J Occup Environ Med. 2019 May-Aug;23(2):63-67. doi: 10.4103/ijoem.IJOEM_215_18. Abstract This essay presents a review of new methods for electric field value assessment in high-voltage areas. For buildings that are placed near high-voltage transmission line corridor, two main scenarios are modeled using finite element method. A new approach to reduce electric field value is also simulated and the results are discussed in detail. The results are compared to related standards values. In some cases the improvement rate exceeds 65%. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
