Electric Field Exposure near the Poles of a MV line

In this work the electric field on the head of a human body under a medium voltage line is studied, close to, at a short distance from, and far from a reinforced concrete pole. Two models of the body have been studied numerically: a more complete one and another simplified. The numerical data obtained with both models were found equivalent, in order to compute the field on the top of the head. The simplified configuration has been experimentally validated. The results show a reduction of the field, close to the pole, compared with the value generally calculated neglecting the poles.
