Therefore, the induced current on the passive loop is Fig. 6 shows the comparison of the percentage
almost unchanged. This result provides important reduction for different heights of the passive loop. It is
information that there is a certain width of passive loop worth noting that when the passive loop is installed above
that gives maximum reduction to the unmitigated the phase lines (i.e., at 25 m and 30 m), the magnetic field
magnetic field density. In other words, there is a certain reduction becomes smaller because the distance from the
width of passive loop that gives a lowest mitigated passive loop conductor to the point being observed is
magnetic field density. In this example, this width is larger. Also, the highest reduction is located beyond the
between 40 m and 50 m. centre line along the lateral distance. Note that the current
flowing on the passive loop at the height of 15 m has the
same amplitude as the current at the height of 25 m due to

4. CONCLUSION
The width of passive loop conductor is constant at 30 m,
while the height of passive loop above ground level The concept to reduce the magnetic field generated
varies. Fig. 5 shows the magnetic field profiles of the from overhead transmission lines has been presented. The
unmitigated magnetic field (B), induced magnetic field mitigation of magnetic field has been performed by means

m. The peak of magnetic field density without installation the conclusion can be drawn as follows:
of the passive loop (unmitigated field) is 10.34 µT. The 1. The magnetic field reduction is affected by the width
peak of mitigating magnetic field density is 3.092 µT and and height of passive loop conductor.
peak of mitigated magnetic field is 7.641 µT. 2. When the loop becomes wider, the magnetic field
reduction becomes larger. However, there is a certain
width of passive loop that gives maximum reduction
to the unmitigated magnetic field density.
3. The higher the passive loop the lower the percentage
reduction.
