What are the key differences between overhead and underground power transmission lines, and which is better for a project?
2025-08-12Answer: The choice between overhead and underground power transmission lines depends on a project's specific requirements, including budget, environmental impact, and location. overhead lines, supported by towers or poles, are generally more cost-effective and easier to install and maintain. They are ideal for rural or long-distance transmission projects. In contrast, underground cables offer greater aesthetic appeal and are less susceptible to weather-related damage, making them the preferred choice for urban and environmentally sensitive areas.
