Abstract

Overview

Protection against electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of high-voltage transmission lines is crucial, particularly for buildings close to these power sources. The electromagnetic interference from these fields poses a significant health risk to humans and can damage electronic devices.

Findings

• Implementation of various shielding practices such as minimum distance regulations, shielded cables, and the use of anechoic chambers are discussed.
• The paper highlights the application of highly permeable magnetic sheets tailored through finite element analysis (FEA) for effective shield design.
• Simulated outcomes were validated against laboratory measurements to affirm the reliability of the FEA tool in designing shielding solutions for both overhead and underground power lines.

Conclusion

The study's results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods and tools for mitigating electromagnetic interference, thereby enhancing the safety of human beings and electronic equipment in affected areas.
