Electrostatic Effects OF Overhead Transmission Lines PART I-Hazards and Effects

This paper summarizes effects of various AC shock currents on humans and animals and cites a number of practical situations, as- sociated with high voltage transmission which may lead to shock hazard. The material presented is limited to electrostatically induced voltages and currents. A companion paper describes methods of solving prob- lems in electrostatic coupling.
