What is the effect of earth capacitance

Answer Posted / mahmood ahmed

Earth affects the calculation of capacitance of three-phase
lines as its presence alters the electric field lines.
Usually the height of the conductors placed on transmission
towers is much larger than the spacing between the
conductors. Therefore the effect of earth can be neglected
for capacitance calculations, especially when balanced
steady state operation of the power system is considered.
However for unbalanced operation when the sum of the three
line currents is not zero, the effect of earth needs to be
considered.

Is there a possibility to use such a treshold voltage for the NMOS part of a CMOS circuit that during the switching it will start conducting only after the PMOS part will be already closed, by this eliminating the leakedge current? Please note, I'm not asking about the well bias in standby mode, but about the "antileakedge" measures during normal operation.
