A typical 3-phase overhead transmission line is a complex system composed of several critical components. The main parts include:
Conductors: These are the wires that carry the electrical current. They are typically made of aluminum (ACSR) for its light weight and conductivity.
Insulators: Made from materials like porcelain, glass, or polymers, insulators are used to separate the conductors from the supporting structures to prevent current from flowing to the ground.
Supporting Structures: These are the towers (pylons) or poles that physically support the conductors and maintain a safe clearance from the ground. They can be made of steel, wood, or concrete, depending on the application and voltage level.
Ground Wires/Shield Wires: These are protective wires run along the top of the towers to shield the phase conductors from lightning strikes.
Hardware and Accessories: This includes a wide array of tools and equipment such as clamps, spacers (for bundled conductors), vibration dampers, and line fittings that hold the entire system together.
