Overhead power line: History, Applications & Measurement

An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances. It consists of one or more conductors (commonly multiples of three) suspended by towers or poles. Since the surrounding air provides good cooling and insulation along long passages and allows optical inspection…
