Abstract

This paper analyses current densities induced inside human body of lineman for 765kV transmission line when he wears a protective cloth or not. Applying the boundary element method, we calculate current densities induced in organs inside a worker in case he was located at 15[cm], 30[cm], 50[cm], and 100[cm] far from a prefabricated jumper. As results of study, we find a maximum current density induced in all organs may be higher than $10[mA/m^2]$ if he does not wear protective clothes. We also know high permeability materials can lower current density more than high conductivity materials.
