Abstract
The use of helicopters for maintenance on live overhead transmission lines has become a realistic option. The helicopter blades, body and working platform can be seen as creating an incomplete Faraday cage, which may be an enhancement to live-line worker safety. This paper simulates the condition using a Faraday cage which can be dismantled, in a controlled laboratory environment to ascertain the effectiveness of apparatus.
