Abstract :
In this paper a method to accurately simulate the human body under a high voltage overhead line or in proximity to substation equipment is proposed, in order to evaluate the electric field and currents on the human body surface. Based on the charge simulation and Maxwell sub-areas methods, the computer program developed allows complex systems to be considered, including three-dimensional multiple overhead lines, busbar system, grounding wires, supporting lattice towers and metallic elements as reinforcing bars
