Abstract
The health effect of the weak current induced in a human body exposed to the power frequency electric field has been investigated since early 1970s. In the case of the ungrounded human model, the current densities inside a human model exposed to the electric field are experimentally clarified by Kaune et al. However, the man who is near by the transmission power line is almost insulated with the ground by insulating medium, such as shoes. Until now, the current density distributions in a human model which stands on the insulating medium have been little analyzed.
In this paper, the finite element method is applied to the analysis of the current density distributions in a human model which stands with erect position on the insulating circular plate, and the characteristics of such internal current density distributions are clarified.
