“…A two‐dimensional conductivity‐depth model for the area between the two selected TLs is shown in Figure 3 [ Bologna et al , 2001]. The measurements of geomagnetic field variations under the two selected TLs were started in August 2004 by installing three‐component fluxgate magnetometers constructed at INPE [ Kabata et al , 2004; Trivedi et al , 1995]. The selected transmission lines Itumbiara–São Simão and Pimenta‐Barreiro, situated in the western region of the state of Minas Gerais, are about 700 and 300 km, respectively, from the magnetic observatory of Vassouras (Rio de Janeiro (RJ)), our reference station for GIC investigation.…”

Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are a ground end manifestation of space weather processes. During large geomagnetic storms, GICs flow between the grounding points of power transformers and along electric power transmission lines connecting the transformers. In high‐latitude regions, damages to power transformers are reported where storm time geomagnetic variations are very rapid and large (>1000 nT), and hence the GICs as large as or even greater than 100 A end up flowing through the windings of power transformers. At low latitudes, geomagnetic variations are less severe, and hence much smaller GIC values are generally reported there. However, the flow of GICs and their effects on power transformers are complex processes, and careful evaluation is needed even in such low‐latitude regions as, for example, Brazil. We report here a study on GIC measurements in Brazil conducted under a cooperative project between FURNAS (the Brazilian electric power company) and the National Institute for Space Research. During a large geomagnetic storm, which took place on 7–10 November 2004, the GIC amplitudes, measured on the basis of geomagnetic variations in 500 kV power transmission lines in the S–E region of Brazil, were found to be around 15 A.
