Can I get example of Insulated overhead power lines more than 50kV with Images?

Voltages in that range do not use insulation around the conductor. They are bare conductors and use air and separation from one another for the insulation factor.

Are overhead power lines insulated?
Overhead power lines are insulated from ground, typically using strings of glass or ceramic insulators. The wire itself is bare, though - it does not have insulation on it. There are many different types of overhead power line, but I'm not aware of any that actually have insulation.
What are the materials added in electrical overhead lines?
Overhead electrical lines are usually made of aluminum, and some have a steel strand added which is used to give the conductor more strength (not to carry current).
What is the purpose of insulator in overhead transmission line?
Overhead lines are uninsulated, as they depend upon the air to provide insulation. However, they must still be insulated from the towers or poles from which they are suspended. This insulation is provided using glass or ceramic insulators. The greater the line voltage, the longer the ceramic insulator, or the greater the number of glass insulator 'dishes'.
What is pipe shoe for hot insulated pipe lines?
A pipe shoe for hot insulated pipe lines is a supportive device that is used to anchor and support the weight of the pipe, while also providing thermal insulation. It is typically designed with a base that allows for easy installation onto a structure or pipe support system, and is constructed with materials that can withstand high temperatures. The pipe shoe helps to prevent excessive heat transfer and damage to the insulated pipe.
What is the voltage of British rail overhead lines?
On the main railway network, overhead lines use 25kV AC. In the past, some lines used 1500V dc overhead and 6.25kV ac overhead as well, but these have all been closed or converted. Tram and light rail systems use other systems.

Why are some acr tubing lines insulated?
if not insulated, condensation will accumulate.
Where does electricity go after it goes to the wooden overhead lines?
Overhead distribution lines are made of aluminium not wood.
Why overhead lines are far cheaper than underground cables for long distances and less economical for short distances?
First of all, the overhead lines are cheaper because they are bare, while underground cables are armoured and insulated, hence explaining the higher price. Overhead cables come of course with accessories like poles and insulators (mostly porcelain). For shorter distance, underground cables are preferred as the cost of pole erection does not exist.It's also worth pointing out that the cost of excavating a trench is more expensive than erecting an overhead line, and this cost escalates dramatically with higher voltage systems. For example, a 132-kV double-circuit underground line is between 5 and 8 times the cost of an overhead tower line, whereas an 11-kV single-circuit underground line is up to twice the cost of a wooden-pole overhead line.
Where can images of cell lines be viewed?
Many images of cell lines can be found on different scientific websites online. They can also be found on Google Images with the simple search "cell lines".
What are lines of semetry?
Lines of symmetry are 'mirror images'
Distancebetween overhead power lines and houses?
20 feet.
How do power lines get underground?
YES BUT INSULATED CABLE ARE USED
What are the materials added in electrical overhead lines?

Why aren't the cables between pylons covered in plastic?
Household wires and electricity flexes are covered in plastic so that you do not touch the metal core by accident as it carries the electricity. But the overhead lines carried by pylons and in substations are not insulated at all as any way they are out of reach and insulating them adds up unnecessary costs. Pylons have ceramic or glass insulators to support the overhead lines so that electricity is kept away from the pylon itself.
What are contour lines used for?
Contour lines enable us to see changes in elevation using an overhead map
Why overhead transmission lines would be more economical than underground transmission lines in high voltage transmission?
Overhead wires do not require insulation, and it is easier to plant poles than dig miles of trenches.
