ANALYSIS OF ELECTRIC FIELD

INFLUENCE ON BUILDINGS UNDER

HIGH VOLTAGE TRNSMISSION
LINES

ABSTRACT
The overhead transmission lines are high-voltage cables which
generate intense electric fields. Within certain distances, the
fields could have strong effects on human health. Since of
housing planning factors, it is inevitable that there will be
buildings located under bare cables. Whether the intensity of
electric field exceeds safety level (5 kV/m at 50 Hz) has been a
concern for both land agents and residents. To address the
concerns, the electric field of 500 Kv overhead transmission line
exerted on building is studied and proposes the scheme for
field intensity reduction. Studies shows that when overhead
cable and building are in different relative locations, the
maximum intensity and influence range in the window regions
can be highly variable, which suggests an optimal building
orientation to minimise the electric field generated by overhead
transmission lines. The field distribution in window regions on
each floor in two models is also studied. The results provide
design basis for safe distance between buildings and
transmission lines. A shielding scheme for building construction
is proposed to reduce the field intensity. Experiment result
shows that with shielding on the building roof at a certain
angle, the influence of electric field can be effectively reduced.
