How can I compute induced currents on shield wires in RESICALC?
Although RESICALC currently does not have the ability of calculating induced currents on shield wires (this feature is coming), but you can use ENVIRO to help out with this task. Do the following: • If your model consists of a simple transmission line right of way you can compute the induced currents in the shield wires using ENVIRO. • Take the induced currents computed by ENVIRO and type them into the load configurations for the towers in RESICALC. • Calculate the final magnetic fields in RESICALC. • You must rerun the induced current calculations in ENVIRO for each loading condition that you wish to model in RESICALC.
