Transmission Towers and Structures

Transmission Towers and Structures

The basic components of power lines are towers (pylons, poles), conductors and insulation. Towers are constructed so as to enable the routing of service conductors by which electricity is transmitted, with adequate insulation distances from objects in the vicinity of the lines and from the tower structures themselves. The dimensions and type of transmission towers depend on many factors, including the rated voltage of the power line, the location of the structure and the role it is to play in the line. All types of transmission towers are manufactured according to standards that guarantee safety of use and durability.

Size of transmission towers for high voltage lines 110 kV and above

The different types of transmission towers are designed according to the voltage at which the line operates. The higher the voltage, the greater the distances to be maintained between the wires in the power line and the ground and the tower structures themselves. This results in higher voltage line towers being taller and wider than the ones for lower voltages.

· single-circuit towers - on which are hung three phase wires making up one AC circuit and one or two lightning wires,

· double-circuit towers - on which six phase conductors (two circuits) and one or two lightning wires are suspended,

· multi-circuit towers - all structures that can accommodate more than two circuits.
