Electric field calculation around of overhead transmission lines in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Paper presents a calculation of the electric field distribution around the 400 kV transmission lines in power system of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Method of equivalent charges was used for the calculation of the electric field at arbitrary points in the vicinity of high-voltage transmission lines. Transmission lines with standard tower's dimensions, as well as lines with reduced (compact) tower's dimensions were considered. Comparisons between calculated and measured results of electric field values around the transmission line with the standard dimensions of the tower on 400 kV line Sarajevo 10 - Sarajevo 20 was performed.
