What else can I help you with?
What is usually carried on a pylon?
A pylon typically carries electrical wires or cables to transmit power or data, such as on power lines or communication towers.
Why are overhead electricity cables never tightly over a pylon?
Overhead electricity cables are not tightly strung over a pylon to account for factors like temperature changes, wind-induced movements, and maintenance needs. Having some slack in the cables helps to reduce stress on the wires and prevent damage or breakage.
What does a pylon do in a power plant?
A pylon does NOT do anything in a power plant. A pylon is a lattice tower, with cables connecting pylon to pylon. It is these cables that transmit electricity from the power plant to industrial/domestic users. Power plant/generator makes electricity Electricity is then passed into a transformer to convert it to a given voltage and amperage, for transmission by the wires/cables connected across pylons. It then goes into another transformer(substation), where the voltage and amperage are changed down to the locally required voltage/amperage, e.g. the electrical plug/socket to power your computer, or turn on the electric light. The voltage in the connecting cables of pylons can be as high as 400,000 volts. At the substation it is reduced to 250V/ 110V for local use. Pylon towers look very inviting to climb. Usually they have a barbed wire fence just above the tower base. This is to stop silly people trying to climb them, because 1. you can fall off an hundred feet. and 2. if you touch the liver connecting cables at 400,000 V , you will be burnt to death/electrocuted. Between the tower/pylon, and electric wires/cables there are 'glass/ceramic' insulators, to prevent electrical discharge/short-circuit.
What is a pylon cable?
pylons are made of steel as it is a strong metal but cables themselves are copper. ps this is a terribe website
how suspension bridges load transfer to the ground?
Through the main cables being anchored in huge concrete blocks and the pylon towers resting on bedrock.
How do the cables of a suspention help it withstand an earthquake?
Through the main cables being anchored in huge concrete blocks and the pylon towers resting on bedrock.
What tower supports a bridge cable?
In a standard suspension bridge the cables are supported by a Bridge Pylon or series of bridge pylons. The cables are supported upon these pylons and they serve to reduce the tension forces that would be required at the cable anchorages had the cables simply been installed straight across the bridge span.
