The electric field strength is one of the main factors influencing sensitive microprocessor equipment and personnel on power stations and substations, power lines. Determining its level is an important applied task for ensuring the safe operation of electrical installations. The aim is to develop calculation relationships for determining the electric field strength created by the busbar of high-voltage substations in the working areas of personnel. The solution of the problem was based on the use of the method of equivalent charges to determine the strength of the electric field created by the complex busbar of high-voltage substations. Methodology. The development was based on solving the problem of the potential of the electric field of a point charge located in a dielectric half-space for a cylindrical coordinate system. By representing the electrode in the form of a set of point charges and subsequent integration, an expression for calculating the potential is obtained, created by a busbar of arbitrary orientation of finite length in an analytical form. Using the principle of superposition of fields and the definition of the derivative, expressions were obtained for calculating the vertical component of the electric field strength at given heights. Results. Based on the obtained expressions, using Visual Basic, the simulation of the distribution of the electric field strength under a three-phase power line with a voltage of 150 kV was performed. Comparison with the known calculation results obtained on the basis of analytical expressions for infinitely long conductors showed that the obtained expressions have an error of no more than 7%. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time expressions were obtained for determining the electric field strength created by a system of electrodes of finite length, based on the analytical method for solving differential equations. Practical significance. The proposed technique is implemented as a test module of the LiGro specialized software package, which allows modeling complex busbar systems typical for power stations and substations and power lines. A test calculation was carried out for an operating substation of regional electric networks with a voltage class of 110 kV. By comparing the duration of the calculation of switchgears with a diagonal of about 500 m, it was found that the calculation time in the LiGro complex based on the analytical method is several tens of times less than the calculation based on the finite element method. In addition, a more powerful computer was used for the end element simulation.
