Abstract :
The currents induced on overhead power lines and the subsequent fields from them are studied for a high frequency ldquobroadband over power linerdquo (BPL) source. The physical properties of the fields are studied, and the level of the fields is examined to determine the significance of the fields from BPL sources on power lines.
