What does power lines do in energy?

Power lines are used to move electrical energy from one place to another. In a simple system the power lines would connect a generator to a set of customers. For large amounts of energy thick overhead cables are used, supported by pylons. The largest pylon circuits can carry enough power to supply over a million homes.


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.


Why are the cables attached to the pylons with the glass connectors rather than metal ones?

Glass is an insulator and will not allow a current to flow through it. With metal, which conducts electricity, the current would flow through them to the towers and cause short circuits,


What is a measure of a waves energy?

the amplitude of a wave shows how much energy it has eg, a smaller voltage ac supply on an oscilloscope would be much smaller than say a higher voltage such as main electrical pylons. if you mean waves at sea then i would presume it would have to be measured in joules as this the standard SI unit for energy.


What makes wind power worse than fossil fuels?

Nothing much. Wind power is free, renewable, non-polluting, and doesn't cause global warming. Fossil fuels are all exactly the opposite, expensive, non-renewable, polluting, and causing global warming. Some birds get killed by the blades, but far more are killed on the electricity pylons, as well as by fossil-fuel burning vehicles and airplanes.

Why do electric pylons have triangulation?

Triangulation is used to determine the position of points on the Earth's surface, including pylons. Pylons use triangles in their construction because a triangle is a very strong and stable structure.

How many people die from climbing up electic pylons every year?

There is no specific statistic on the number of people who die from climbing up electric pylons each year. However, such incidents are extremely dangerous due to the high voltage of the electricity they carry, and can often result in death or serious injury. Climbing electric pylons is illegal and should never be attempted.


What are electricity pylons used for?

Pylons are there to carry electric wires which send large amounts of electrical energy across the country from where it is generated to where it is used. Pylons usually carry electricity at many thousands of volts because this is the efficient way to transmit it. Typical voltages on pylons are 100,000 volts up to a limit of about a million volts. The wires carried on pylons are usually made of stranded aluminium with a steel core, with overall diameters up to about one inch. A line of pylons carrying six wires making up two 3-phase circuits and operating at 132,000 volts can carry a power of about 200 megawatts, enough for a town of 200,000 people.

Why must pylons have ceramic discs?

Pylons must have ceramic or glass insulators to support overheard lines; this prevents the pylons from becoming "live."


What type of electrical current is found in the wires between pylons?

It is alternating current (AC) that is transmitted between electrical pylons.
