Abstract

In this article the summary of measurement and calculation values of low frequency electric field radiation around the high-voltage transmission lines and impact of the increased voltage values on the AC corona onset voltage gradient are presented. The measurements of the low frequency electric field radiation level were performed under the 400 kV transmission lines of horizontal configuration with standard and compact dimensions. In all cases analyzed in this article, the measurements are performed in the middle of the span, because at this point the conductors are closest to the ground. The analysis in this article has been initiated by the increased voltage values of long duration that have been registered in nodes of the 400 kV network in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the neighbouring countries during the last years. The calculation of the low frequency electric field radiation of the different configuration of the high-voltage transmission lines will be useful for determining the non-ionization radiation exposure levels of the general public in the future as well as to determine their impact on the AC corona onset voltage gradient.

Key words: non-ionization radiation, low frequency electric field, high voltage transmission line,
AC corona, corona onset voltage gradient
