Experimental Studies of Currents Flowing Through the Supports of an Overhead Power Line
Structural elements of high-voltage overhead power lines located underground are subject to chemical corrosion. In addition, they are affected by stray currents flowing in the ground caused by current-carrying elements of the overhead power lines (OPL). In the present study, a mathematical model has been developed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate leakage currents and spreading currents along the structural elements of OPL supports. The results are presented here.
