Transmission line parts

1. Insulator.
2. Bundle of two conductors (some lines have 4).
3.Spacer to hold the two conductors apart.
4. Earth wire at top of tower or pylon.
5. The three bundles on one side of the tower make up one electrical circuit. Most lines have two circuits, one each side.
6.Identity plate saying which line it is and who owns it. Also usually has a safety warning notice about the dangers of electrocution.
7.Anti-climbing device – barbed wire to stop unauthorised climbing
Transmission tower Parts

A power transmission tower consists of the following parts,.
1) Peak of transmission tower
2) Cross arm of transmission tower
3) Boom of transmission tower
4) Cage of transmission tower
5) Transmission Tower Body
6) Leg of transmission tower
7) Stub/Anchor Bolt and Base plate assembly of transmission tower.
Types of Transmission Tower
There are different types of transmission towers. the detailed post on types of transmission power can be read HERE
Types of Transmission Towers|Electrical Tower Types
The transmission line goes as per available corridors. When there is an unavailability of the shortest distance straight corridor, the transmission line has to deviate from its straight way when obstruction comes. In the total length of a long transmission line, there may be several deviation points.
According to the angle of deviation, there are four types of transmission towers
- A – type tower : angle of deviation 0o to 2o.
- B – type tower : angle of deviation 2o to 15o.
- C – type tower : angle of deviation 15o to 30o.
- D – type tower : angle of deviation 30o to 60o.
Types of Transmission Structures
Types of Transmission Structures are explained in detail in another post. you can read it HERE.
