Why earthing power transmission line?

It is necessary because lightning can destroy whole phase conductors. Lightning has energy of 1MHp. So much high energy if falls on transmission line will not even destroy it but all of the distribution systems too. The reason that lightning falls on tower is that it always chosses the shortest path.


Are copper wires and not steel wires used in electric circuits although both copper and steel are electrical conductors?

Steel is not used as an electrical conductor because, although it is a conductor, it's not a very good conductor -as is copper and aluminium, for example. A steel-wire core is used, however, to reinforce aluminium conductors on transmission tower lines

Distance between transmission tower and telecommunication tower?

Transmission towers are usually paired or grouped and used to convey high-tension power lines over distances. Do not confuse with antennas used for radio or TV transmissions. a telecommunications tower is used for broadcast purposes -radio or tv or both. neither type of tower is necessarily manned- power- transmission towers are normally unattended and high up. There you have it. good to see an interest in civil engineering structures- things are looking up!
