Protecting Workers from Electromagnetic Induction During Line-Stringing Operations: Copyright Material IEEE Paper No. ESW2021-02

Electromagnetic induction from parallel lines during line-stringing operations poses a serious electrical hazard, which is a leading cause of death for power line workers. This presentation examines the extent of the hazard, its causes, and measures to protect workers. The presentation uses an actual accident to illustrate the hazards and protective measures that could have been used to prevent it.
