Transient Electrostatic Induction by EHV Transmission Lines

Transient electrostatic induction by EHV lines on objects such as large vehicles is studied. Attention is drawn to the need of further investigation with regard to hazards to persons touching the object and being submitted to current pulses of very short duration. An analytical expression for the electrostatically induced voltage wave is derived. The calculated numerical values are checked experimentally on the air model and the results show good agreement.
