Abstract :
This paper presents the interaction between the overhead transmission lines (OHTLs) and their towers. In this paper, the electric field around the tower of the overhead transmission lines is calculated. The charge simulation method, combined with the image method, is used to develop a model that consists of subconductors of the OHTLs and the tower. The charges on the surface of each subconductor of the overhead transmission lines are simulated by a set of infinite line charges, of various charge densities, along the length of the subconductor, and the induced charges on the surface of the tower are simulated by a set of finite line charges.
