Planning and Conducting Magnetic Field Level Measurement from Overhead Transmission Line

Abstract

Human population and power consumption keeps on growing with each year. In order to satisfy electricity demand, more electrical energy has to be supplied, resulting in higher magnetic field level radiation. In rapid urbanization country, lack of space will force civilization to be built near overhead transmission line that sparks public concern on adverse health effects due to the magnetic field radiation. A new UTHM hostel residential area was built near OTLs that shared the same concern. Thus a proper planning to conduct magnetic field level measurement was done to examine the maximum magnetic field level radiated that covered the hostel residential area. The results were far from reaching the maximum permissible magnetic field level proposed by ICNIRP. Though, the steps taken and the methods used might be suitable guidelines for others that encounter similar situations.

Electric and magnetic field calculation software in transmission lines

“…The transmission of alternating current electrical power [3], generates associated effects such as losses due to the corona effect, audible noise, and radio and television interference. Transmission lines are considered one of the principal sources of electric and magnetic fields [4]- [7]. The intensity of the fields emitted by these lines depends mainly on the transmitted current and their voltages.…”

Reduction of the number of faults caused by lightning for transmission line

“…Overhead transmission line is often several tens of meters in height [1] and from several kilometers to hundreds of kilometers in length [2]. Therefore, the route of transmission lines can cross areas with different natural conditions.…”

Hysteresis Loops for Magnetoelectric Multiferroics Using Landau-Khalatnikov Theory

“…Hence, the study of hysteresis of the functional materials is very important to understand the characteristic of the related materials. It is the basic step before functional materials can be utilized in many applications such as for example: measurement devices [6], field driven devices [7], LED devices [8], etc.…”
