Anchor pylon — Anchor pylons or strainer pylons utilize horizontal insulators and occur at the endpoints of conductors. Such endpoints are necessary when interfacing with other modes of power transmission (see image) and, due to the inflexibility of the… … Wikipedia
Long-distance anchor pylon — A long distance anchor pylon is an anchor pylon at the end of a line section with a span width longer than the others used in the line. At long distance anchor pylons there are larger distances between the conductor cables as at other sections in … Wikipedia
Electricity pylon — An electricity pylon or transmission tower is a tall, usually steel lattice structure used to support overhead electricity conductors for electric power transmission.High voltage AC transmission towersThree phase electric power systems are used… … Wikipedia
Portal pylon — In electricity distribution, a portal pylon is a type of pylon with which the cross beams on the conductor cables rest on at least two towers. Portal pylons can be made of wood, concrete, steel tubing or steel lattice. They are used in German… … Wikipedia
Branch pylon — In the layout of an overhead electrical transmission system, a branch pylon is a pylon that is used to start a line branch. The branch pylon is responsible for holding up both the main line and the start of the branch line, and must be structured … Wikipedia
Wood pylon — A wood pylon is an electricity pylon made of wood. For support pylons a straight trunk impregnated with tar is usually used, which carries one or more cross beams with the conductor cables on the top. For anchor pylons constructions looking like… … Wikipedia
Dead-end tower — single circuit dead end tower with steel pole construction A dead end tower (also anchor tower, anchor pylon)[1] uses horizontal strain insulators and occur at the endpoints of conductors. Such endpoints are necessary when interfacing with other… … Wikipedia
Overhead line crossing — An overhead line crossing is the crossing of an obstacle such as a traffic route, a river, a valley or a strait by an overhead power line. The style of crossing depends on the local conditions and regulations at the time the power line is… … Wikipedia
Elbe Crossing 2 — is a group of pylons providing overhead lines for four 380 kV three phase AC current circuits across the German river Elbe. It was constructed between 1976 and 1978 to supplement Elbe Crossing 1, and consists of 4 masts:* A 76 meter tall anchor… … Wikipedia
Shukhov tower on the Oka River — (Dzerzhinsk High Voltage Mast) is the world’s only surviving hyperboloid electricity pylon. It is located in Russia, in the western suburbs of Nizhniy Novgorod, on the left bank of the Oka River near Dzerzhinsk. History The Shukhov Tower was a… … Wikipedia
