ABSTRAK
Sejak beberapa dekad yang lalu, kebimbangan yang semakin meningkat telah
direkodkan di negara-negara perindustrian yang lebih terdedah kepada medan
magnet pada frekuensi kuasa (50160 Hz). Tahap kesihatan manusia yang hidup
berdekatan dengan talian arus tinggi merupakan satu perkara yang hangat
diperbincangkan di media massa. Perbincangan isu ini adalah perlu untuk
menyediakan perspektif dan pemahaman yang secukupnya dalam bidang ini. Walau
bagaimanapun, tiada persetujuan umum mengenai had nilai medan elektromagnetik
atau arus aruhan yang dihasilkan oleh talian arus tinggi ini terhadap tubuh badan
manusia. Objektif projek ini adalah untuk menyiasat dan menyediakan ukuran
analisis medan magnet di sekitar Ia dikaji melalui pengiraan medan magnet, B yang
menggunakan beberapa undang-undang yang dikenali seperti undang-undang Biot
Savart undang-undang Ampere. Daripada persamaan asas yang ada, ia kemudian
dipermudahkan untuk membentuk persamaan yang paling ringkas dan paling mudah
untuk mendapatkan nilai medan magnet secara teori. Hanya medan magnet yang
dikaitkan dengan frekuensi kuasa 50 Hz sahaja digunakan bagi kajian ini. Voltan
bagi jenis talian yang diambil kira adalah 132 kV. Pembangunan antara muka
pengguna grafik turut dibangunkan bagi membantu proses pengiraan nilai medan
magnet. Berdasarkan nilai medan magnet minimum yang telah ditetapkan oleh
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (INCIRP) terhadap
manusia, kajian ini telah membuktikan bahawa talian arus tinggi bervoltan 132kV
yang terdapat di Malaysia adal tidak membahayakan manusia selagi jarak selamat
yang ditetapkan masih dipatuhi.
