High Voltage Electric Pylons
High voltage electric pylons, also known as transmission towers, are essential components of power transmission systems. These structures are designed to carry high-voltage electricity—typically ranging from 100 kV to 765 kV—over long distances, connecting power plants to substations or to areas with high energy demand.
Pylons are typically made of steel and constructed in various designs, such as lattice towers or monopoles, depending on the terrain, voltage level, and distance requirements. Their height and shape are carefully engineered to ensure proper insulation, reduce electrical losses, and accommodate environmental factors like wind load and ice accumulation. They also support multiple circuits, enabling efficient power transmission to meet the needs of large populations and industries.
