This course will provide the technical information needed to assess the hazards of sharing the right-of-way with utility lines as well as the worksite hazards for power line work. The course will also deal with mitigation techniques to limit the hazards of induction voltage. This course is intended to provide the knowledge needed to compute the induced voltages due to the electromagnetic fields of energized lines. The computation is simplified without loss in accuracy so it can be implemented by using handheld calculators.
With the full knowledge of the electromagnetic induction, utilities can acquire acceptable right of way for their power lines, industries and commercial buildings can allocate their business at sufficient distances from the power lines, housing projects can determine the height of their buildings, and utilities can decide on the separation of their pipelines and railroads from power lines.
