Abstract

In this paper we present a modeling and simulation, the methodology for calculating the electromagnetic field radiated by the high voltage (HV) lines and for selection of analytical models that interpret the electric and magnetic fields as a function of the distance to the target object. The results were compared with measurements carried out on site where the HV lines are present through a neighborhood of a large agglomeration in the city of Tebessa, for over 50 years. Following published standards establishing the human to HV power line distances for professional exposure or in the case of low frequency field exposure the results obtained by calculations /simulation and measurement in this work, enable us to recommend possible solutions for the electromagnetic pollution issues in the town of Tebessa and thus to reduce the permanent danger to the public considering also the legislative vacuum and the poor preoccupation of official authorities.
