Abstract :
The reduction of 60-Hz electric fields caused by grounded objects present in proximity to a high voltage transmission line is discussed. Field reduction is determined using a specially defined shielding function which depends only on the object´s geometry and on the distance from the object. Shielding functions have been developed for different types of objects (trees, rows of trees, box-like objects, vertical cylinders, fences, etc.).
