  2. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    Insulated conductors and cable. Overhead insulated cables are rarely used, usually for short distances (less than a kilometer). Insulated cables can be directly fastened to structures without insulating supports. An overhead line with bare conductors insulated by air is typically less costly than a cable with insulated conductors.

  3. All-dielectric self-supporting cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-dielectric_self...

    All-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cable is a type of optical fiber cable that is strong enough to support itself between structures without using conductive metal elements. It is used by electrical utility companies as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission lines and often sharing the same support structures ...

    Overhead lines. An overhead line or overhead wire is an electrical cable that is used to transmit electrical energy to electric locomotives, electric multiple units, trolleybuses or trams. The generic term used by the International Union of Railways for the technology is overhead line. [1]

  6. Optical ground wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire

    An optical ground wire (also known as an OPGW or, in the IEEE standard, an optical fiber composite overhead ground wire) is a type of cable that is used in overhead power lines. Such cable combines the functions of grounding and communications. An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more optical fibers in it, surrounded by ...

    Transmission tower is the name for the structure used in the industry in the United States and some other English-speaking countries. [4] In Europe and the U.K., the terms electricity pylon and pylon derive from the basic shape of the structure, an obelisk with a tapered top. [5] In Canada, the term hydrotower is used, because hydroelectricity ...
