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.
What are electricity pylons made of?
A 'pylons' is the layman's name for what people employed in the electrical industry call 'towers'. Towers are steel lattice structures from which high-voltage transmission and distribution lines are suspended. Towers must be high enough to ensure that the line conductors maintain a safe clearance at their lowest point. In the UK, towers are used to support lines from 132 kV and above. In some cases, they are also used to support 66-kV and 33-kV lines, although these are normally supported by wooden poles.
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.
