Electric line support system
THE NATIONAL GRID SYSTEM Line support structures in electricity and over head conductors; are mechanism which are used to to give support and balance to electric over head conductors The supporting structure for overhead line conductors are of various types of poles and towers; called line support. In general the line supports should have the following properties: High mechanical strength Cheap in cost and economical maintenance Longer life span Should be durable Light in weight without loss of mechanical strength Easy accessibility of conductors for maintenance Line support used for transmission and distribution of electric power are of various types including wooden Wooden poles Steel poles Reinforce concrete poles (RCC) Lattice still tower The choice of supporting structures for a particular case depend upon The line span Cross_sectional area Line voltage Cost and local conditions A.
