Effect of Phase Sequence Layout on Electric Field under Overhead Lines

Abstract

This paper discusses effect of phase sequence layout on electric field under overhead lines. Charge simulation method is used. Examples of two circuit overhead lines and four circuit overhead lines show that phase arrangment of lowest height conductors has major influence and phase arrangment of middle height conductors has lesser influence on electric field under overhead lines. Interlacing placed lowest height conductors with different phase and phase arrangement of middle height conductors different from that of lowest height conductors help to reduce electric field.
