摘要：In this paper, a stand-alone application withgraphical user interface (GUI) developed for monitoring ACinduced corrosion expectancies of buried pipelines near a highvoltage AC transmission line is presented. A Rand water site,South Africa, was used as a case study. The interface wasbased on estimating the AC induced corrosion risk assessmentindices for buried pipelines near existing overhead high voltagetransmission lines using Carson’s concept of mutual impedancesbetween both the pipeline and transmission circuits. The GUIwas developed using MATLAB software and have been testedto process user input data from field measurements in suchsite. The developed application permits the evaluation of theAC induced corrosion risk assessment indices and may beparticularly useful in the analysis of AC induced potential onburied pipelines.
