Typical height ranges from 15 to 55 metres (49 to 180 ft), although heights in excess of 300 metres (980 ft) do exist. Check Wikipedia out for more info.
I needed to know the heights so I could compare wind turbine proposals with something already in the landscape.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on the voltage, the sag of the line, and the distance between towers. Generally there is a minimum height that the power line must be above the ground, defined by voltage level. If the geography requires there to be a great distance between structures (such as a river crossing), the towers will be made tall enough to accomodate this.
In general, the lower voltage lines may be as short as 25 feet, while taller ones can be over 200 feet.

How can freezing rain cause electrical power outs?
The sleet clings to power lines and transformers. As the weight of this ice builds up, it breaks the line away from the power pole. It also knocks branches from trees which can also break the power lines.
