POLARIS-EMF
POLARIS-EMF is the only commercially available software that calculates electrostatic contact current (NESC 5-mA rule or microshock compliance) for a comprehensive library of over 50 three-dimensional vehicle and object models near overhead transmission lines. The program also computes audible noise, radio interference, and electric and magnetic field profiles — all in a single integrated tool.
Built By Transmission Line Electrical Design Experts
Our team brings together decades of specialized experience in transmission line electrical design, power system electromagnetics, and software development. Dr. Jon Leman, P.E. has over 25 years of experience in transmission line electrical design with project voltages ranging to ±600 kV DC and 765 kV AC. He has published in IEEE and T&D World on transmission line electromagnetics, electrostatic contact current (microshocks), and underground transmission challenges and holds a Ph.D. in power system electromagnetics from Washington State University. Dr. Robert Olsen, Ph.D. serves as Scientific Advisor and is one of the authors of the AC Transmission Line Reference Book — 200 kV and Above (2005), the industry standard reference for transmission line electromagnetics. Dr. Olsen has nearly 100 publications in refereed journals and is an Honorary Life Member of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society. Ray Seegmiller brings professional software development experience from Amazon, Southwest Research Institute, and NASA-contracted simulation work, ensuring our tools are robust, fast, and intuitive.
