The present study is centered on the investigation of longitudinal and lateral profiles of Extremely low-frequency Electromagnetic field experiments conducted at three distinct locations in Oman. The investigation encompasses findings obtained from 400kV transmission lines and substations. The analysis of electric and magnetic fields emitted by transmission lines was conducted using an EHP-50F E&H field analyzer sensor set and an environmental meter. The measurements were conducted at 400kV transmission lines or to a distance of the insignificant field at the high-voltage substation, various components such as power transformers, CT (current transformers), PT (potential transformers), circuit breakers, reactors, earth switches, transport couplers, lightning arrestors, and other. This research in Oman marks the initial exploration of various factors pertaining to the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) and its technical standards, which are founded on optimal practices. These factors encompass the interphase spacing, the spacing between conductors within a bundle of twin conductors, the configuration of phases on a tower, the crosssectional area of conductors, and similar considerations. The proposed study aims to support the Sultanate of Oman's objective of establishing a high-quality smart transmission grid by 2030. This system will facilitate the efficient, reliable, and secure transfer and distribution of power, while also offering economic benefits. This research aims to cater to the needs of students and engineers by offering a highly practical approach that utilizes appropriate equipment. This article presents a systematic approach to the implementation of a smart transmission grid, incorporating the aforementioned attributes.
