Abstract
The paper presents in a tutorial manner a theoretical study of the calculation of magnetic fields in vicinity of overhead electric power lines. Exact and simplified methods of the determination of the magnetic field of a straight overhead conductor based on the Fourier transform technique and on the concept of complex ground return plane are presented. The decomposition of the magnetic fields in two components: magnetic field obtained in free space from the Biot-Savart law and the magnetic field produced by earth current is discussed. It is shown that in practical cases the effects from earth currents can be neglected as compared with effects from line currents. A solution for modeling magnetic fields produced by sagging conductor, described by the catenary equation, is also proposed. The effect of the catenary on the magnetic field spatial distribution is investigated. The calculation results of magnetic field produced by sagging conductor and the magnetic field of a conventional model consisting of a horizontal conductor hanging on the effective height lying between the maximum and minimum heights of catenaries is compared and discussed. As an example the magnetic field of a real-power catenary high voltage 2 × 220 kV power line is demonstrated. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
