Electromotive force induced in a loop conductor under a power line conductor

The study presents methods of the calculation of electromotive force (emf) induced in a mitigation loop located under an overhead power line conductor. The loop can be treated as a rectangular loop (two-conductor closed mitigation loop) located near the power line horizontal to the earth surface. Exact and simplified methods of the determination of the emf are presented. The exact method bases on the earth return circuit theory, whereas the simplified method allows one to calculate the induced emf under the assumption neglecting earth currents.
