AnswerThere are two categories of 'power lines': 'transmission lines' and 'distribution lines'. Transmission lines comprise lines supported by transmission towers ('pylons') and distribution lines comprise lines supported by poles. In both cases, their function is to transport electrical energy from the generating stations to the consumer. Transmission lines are normally part of the grid system, a network which links many generating stations and load centres (usually located near large towns, for example); distribution lines link these load centres to consumers -factories, commercial buildings, residences.
