A transmission tower (also electricity pylon, hydro tower, or pylon) is a tall structure, usually a lattice tower made of steel that is used to support an overhead power line.

2023年10月18日 · Pylons – also known as electricity transmission and distribution towers – are the structural supports that have carried the UK’s network of high-voltage overhead power lines for nearly 100 years. Today there are more than 90,000 transmission and distribution electricity pylons across Britain.

2023年3月28日 · Pylons are used to support electrical cables that transmit high-voltage electricity from where it’s generated, such as a power station or wind farm, to where it can be distributed to our homes and businesses. Electricity comes out of a power station at a low voltage, around 10-30 kilovolts (kV).

Overhead lines are the electrical cables that transmit electricity all over the country through the electricity grid. These lines are supported by pylons – also known as electricity transmission towers – which are the structural supports that have carried the UK’s network of high-voltage overhead power lines for nearly 100 years.

2012年2月24日 · A transmission tower (also known as a power transmission tower, power tower, or electricity pylon) is a tall structure (usually a steel lattice tower) used to support an overhead power line.

Transmission towers (electrical pylons) carry large amounts of high-voltage current over long distances. These structures typically stand 50 to 150 feet tall (16m to 45m), with the tallest towers being 1,247 feet (380m) tall.

See the pylon series page for an overview to UK pylon series, starting with recognition diagrams of many of the common types. See the unidentified types page for those types not assigned a designation.

2022年7月23日 · Pylon designs: This is the most common design in the world, which was exported in many countries during the time. Older pylons are designed as three-level pylons with massive steel lattice bodies and either two ground cables, placed on an additional crossbar, or a single wire on a short mast top.

The T-Pylon is a structure of only few parts, can be erected quickly, and requires virtually no maintenance. The radical innovation is the reassessment of the conductor/cable arrangement. The prismatic configuration of the cables allows a reduction in …

2022年9月1日 · L2 are very common and built by the thousand. They were the first design for 400kV in about 1956 (although many are strung for 275kV). The late lamented Pink Pylon was an L2, easily identifiable by the near equal-length crossarms.
