Electromagnetic Pulse Coupling and Propagation to Power Lines: Theory and Experiments

Abstract

Coupling of transients to aboveground transmission lines is analyzed and measured experimentally. Measurements were made using scale models approximately 1-foot high to represent power transmission lines. The coupling to the line and the propagation characteristics of the line were measured. The effects of bends and junctions on the transmitted signals were measured and analyzed. Periodically, grounded lines and multiconductor lines were also examined. The variation of the induced-voltage waveforms with soil conductivity, line height, and pulse width were calculated.
