Lee, Jack M

The electrical effects of power transmission lines and the effects that such lines may have on man and his environment are described. The electric effects include corona discharges, electric and magnetic field effects of ac lines, and induced currents and voltages from dc lines. Some of the methods used by BPA to reduce or eliminate undesirble biological effects are also discussed. The appendixes contain information on grounding criteria and research related to the biological effects of transmission lines. (LCL)
