Electrostatic Effects of Overhead Transmission Lines PART II-Methods of Calculation

Abstract

This paper interprets electrostatically coupled objects in circuit form, reduces the problem to Thevenin equivalents, and develops practical methods for computing such equivalents. Means for representing irregularly shaped objects, both by analytical and analog methods are discussed. A companion paper describes the effects of induced currents on humans and animals, and cites examples of hazards sometimes encountered in operation of high voltage lines.
