While a transmission tower is a complete structure, it is comprised of several key parts, each with a specific function:

• Foundation: The base of the tower that anchors it securely to the ground.

• Tower Body/Legs: The main vertical structure that supports the entire tower.

• Cross-Arms: The horizontal arms that extend from the tower body. They hold the insulators and conductors. The number and length of cross-arms depend on the voltage and number of circuits.

• Insulators: Made of porcelain or composite materials, these are crucial for electrically isolating the live conductors from the tower body, which is grounded.

• Conductors: The actual wires or cables that carry the electricity.

• Overhead Ground Wire (Shield Wire): A wire located at the very top of the tower, used to protect the conductors below from lightning strikes.

All of our overhead tools and accessories are designed to work seamlessly with these components, making us a reliable partner for the construction and maintenance of power grids worldwide.
