Abstract
<p><span lang="EN-US"><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">This </span></strong></span><span lang="EN-GB"><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">article presents a superposition method in combination with the Coulomb’s law and the Method of image charges for calculation of the electric field distribution generated by high voltage overhead power lines above a flat surface in every dimension. Such calculations are required to ensure the operational safety of people exposed to the action of external electric field as well as to reduce the cost of people protection. The method provides options for calculation of the field around the wire of a general shape. This substantial improvement of the method could be applied to eliminate the usual error in the calculation created using approximation of catenary shape conductors by infinite straight conductors. The method has been extensively tested on a set of shapes with known analytical solutions. It has been shown that the numerical solution converges uniformly to the analytical solution and the accuracy depends only on the number of finite elements.</span></strong></span></p>
