Analys av magnetfält kring högspänd luftledning

Sammanfattning: The digitalization of our community, robotization of our industry and electrification of our transports leads to an increasing demand of electric power, which relies on a strong and reliable grid. In order to continuously be able to deliver stable and qualitative electric power all over Sweden the grid needs to be expanded. To safely expand the grid, several laws, regulations and safety precautions needs to be followed and one of them applies to the magnetic field from high voltage power lines. This Master thesis aims to show two different ways of calculating the magnetic field from high voltage power lines. The first way is to take the transmission line catenary in account and the other is to approximate a straight line and show the magnetic field extension. It also aims to show how the field looks close to transmission poles, both straight and with angles, in order to find out if that changes the field outcome. Both ways of calculating the field shows the same magnetic field magnitude below the point where the catenary hangs down the most. With the catenary taken into account, the magnetic field strength is lower than with the approximation with straight line, and shows the real field extension from the powerline. Using the straight line approximation, the magnetic field is higher and constant below the whole power line. As both ways of calculating takes a high amount of time, the one that gives the real field extension is recommended to use for real life application.
