Abstract: Electric field distribution of 1 000 kV and 500 kV AC four-circuit lines on one tower is quite different from that of single-voltage EHV/UHV transmission lines and electric field for live-working becomes more complicated. The field intensity distribution for live-working is simulated in this paper with 3D boundary element method of power frequency electric field and a human body model is established for analyzing the electric field intensity of the human body in different parts in the typical operating conditions including ground potential and equipotential, based on which the electric field protection measures for the live-workers are determined. It is concluded that the safety protection requirements can be met for the equipotential workers who wear screening clothes with 60 dB screen efficiency and screening helmet with 20 dB screen efficiency, and for the ground potential workers who wear conventional screening clothes or electrostatic shielding clothes.
