Abstract
Transmission line corridors of developing countries are increasingly dense and expensive with construction of new ultrahigh voltage (UHV) transmission lines. Right of way of transmission line in the corridor, construction cost of transmission lines including towers, is directly influenced by electric and magnetic field strength emission (EMF) of that line. In UHV range, emission of electric and magnetic field strength in the vicinity of lines is of great public concern, as are likely to have hazardous effects to human being when their exposure level exceeds specified limits. Higher the transmission voltage and stronger the electric field. Though the results on effect of EMF on human being is inconclusive, to create awareness to common public and working professional, it is mandatory to measure the emission level of EMF in lateral and longitudinal profile. This paper reports experiences of EMF emission measurement of 765 kV UHVAC quadruple ACSR bundled conductor single circuit transmission line in India. Measurement results of EMF with vegetation is reported.
