Abstract

The electromagnetic radiations from High Voltage Transmission lines are causing serious health threats to human beings working outdoors. Interference from HV lines may be electrostatic and electromagnetic interference. Probable risk for leukemia, neuropsychological disorders, cancer and reproductive outcomes has been reported due to this exposure. This paper is aimed at analysis of electric field distribution in a 400kV transmission line. Electric Field is calculated using FEM based ANSYS software package. By comparing these values with the standard available guidelines and the values calculated by analytical method we can find the permissible distance that the human beings may be exposed to.
