    Abstract

    The objective of the paper is to present the measurement examples of the meters and compare the differences in real situations at 400 kV and 220 kV substations. We used two meters: the Narda EFA-300 LF Field Analyzer and Maschek ESM-100 H/E Field Meter. Both meters were used to measure the electric field strength from the same spot at 17 different sites. The Maschek produced slightly higher readings while measuring the electric field strengths although the explanation could be the difference in distance to the ground from the actual probing elements of both meters due to user error.
