there are 3 main types of power pylons,400,000volts(400kv) usually there are 4 wires on each arm,275,000volts(275kv)usually 2wires,and 132,000volts(132kv)usually 1 wire.
CommentPylons, or to give them their correct name, 'towers', are used in electricity transmission systems and, to some extent, in distribution systems. Their operating voltages depend on the electricity standards in the country in which they are used. As pointed out in the original answer, in the UK, transmission voltages are 400 kV, 275 kV, and 132 kV; towers are also used, in some cases, to support distribution lines that operate at 66 kV and 33 kV (although these are more-commonly supported on poles).
In most cases, each tower supports two separate circuits -one on either side of the tower- with each circuit comprising three 'lines' (L1, L2, and L3)- often with one circuit having its line sequence reversed.
As the original answer indicates, at higher voltages, each 'line' consists of 'bundled' conductors (four per line at 400 kV, two per line at 275 kV). The purpose of bundling these conductors is to reduce the electric field stress that would otherwise exist at the surface of single conductors.

∙ 12y agoElectricity towers (the correct name for 'pylons') are used to support conductors which operate at very high voltages. The magnitude of the voltages are determined by the appropriate standards for the country in which they operate. For example, in the UK, they operate at 400 kV, 275 kV, 132 kV and, occasionally, at 66 kV or 33 kV -although 66 and 33 kV lines are normally supported on poles. These voltages are termed line voltages.
Towers normally support two separate three-phase circuits(one circuit on opposite sides of each tower) comprising three groups of line conductor bundles per circuit. 400-kV 'lines' are normally bundled in groups of four individual conductors at the same potential hanging off each insulator chain, 275-kV line conductors are normally bundled in pairs, and the others as single conductors.

What is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?
Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.
What is voltage gain?
Voltage gain is the ratio of the output voltage of an amplifier to its input voltage.
What is voltage amplitude?
Voltage amplitude is the maximum value of a voltage.
What is knee voltage and breakdown voltage?
Knee voltage (cut in voltage) :-The forward voltage at which the current through the P-N Junction starts increasing rapidly is called as Cut in voltage or knee voltage Breakdown voltage :-It is the minimum reverse voltage at which the P-N Junction can conduct without damage to the current
What is the voltage in your area?
the energy in the area is called ME-Kos.
What is usually carried on a pylon?

What does pylon mean?
pylon means a guy who keeps an eye on others girlfriends...
What wire on a 3 line wooden pylon is live neutral and earth?
If you are referring to a high-voltage line, then it will be a three-phase system, where each of the three conductors is live.
Is the pylon inbounds?
No, but can be affirmative.
What rhymes with Milan?
Pylon
Is touching a Pylon Dangerous?
Because you can touch the live wires and the voltage can kill you.CommentIt's quite unnecessary to 'touch' the live conductors. Approaching them within a few metres (depending on the voltage) will be sufficient for the high voltage to 'flash over', and inflict fatal burns. And if the burns don't kill you, the resulting fall will certainly finish you off!
What are the Protoss transport units in SC and SCII?
Well in starcraft II there is the pylon and the warp prism in starcaft I i think its just the pylon The pylon can transport created units immediately to that area where the pylon is. Many ppl call this a proxy pylon because u can cheese this in ur opponents base, warp in like 2 zealots and harass The warp prism functions like a pylon, pumping in units. But it can move, and trasport units like a medivac. Its kinda expensive so pros dont particularly use them too often.
What is an Egyptian pylon?
An Egyptian pylon is a temple. It has two large towers next to each other that taper down with the largest part at the bottom. The word "pylon" is a Greek word given to the Egyptian temple.
