    A transmission tower is a tall steel lattice structure used to support overhead high voltage power lines that carry electricity from power plants to substations. Transmission towers have to carry heavy transmission lines at a sufficient height above the ground. The key parts of a transmission tower include the peak, cross arms, cage, body, legs, and baseplate assembly. Transmission towers are classified based on the angle of deviation of the power lines and the number of transmission circuits they carry. Bundled conductors use multiple conductors per phase grouped with spacers to maintain distance and prevent clashing.

    Transmission Tower

    What is a Transmission Tower?


    A transmission tower (also known as a power transmission tower, power tower, or electricity
    pylon) is a tall structure (usually a steel lattice tower) used to support an overhead power line. In
    electrical grids, they are used to carry high voltage transmission lines that transport bulk electric
    power from generating stations to electrical substations; utility poles are used to support lower-
    voltage sub-transmission and distribution lines that transport power from substations to electric
    customers.
    Transmission towers have to carry the heavy transmission conductors at a sufficient safe height
    from the ground.

    Transmission Tower Parts:


    A power transmission tower is a key part of a power transmission system. A power transmission
    tower consists of the following parts:
    1) The peak of the transmission tower
    2) The cross arm of the transmission tower
    3) The boom of transmission tower
    4) Cage of transmission tower
    5) Transmission Tower Body
    6) Leg of transmission tower
    7) Stub/Anchor Bolt and Baseplate assembly of the transmission tower.

    Peak of Transmission Tower


    The portion above the top cross arm is called peak of transmission tower. Generally, earth shield
    wire connected to the tip of this peak.

    Cross Arm of Transmission Tower


    Cross arms of transmission tower hold the transmission conductor. The dimension of cross arm
    depends on the level of transmission voltage, configuration and minimum forming angle for
    stress distribution.

    Cage of Transmission Tower


    The portion between tower body and peak is known as cage of transmission tower. This portion
    of the tower holds the cross arms.
    Transmission Tower Body

    The portion from the bottom cross arms up to the ground level is called the transmission tower
    body. This portion of the tower plays a vital role in maintaining the required ground clearance of
    the bottom conductor of the transmission line.
    According to the angle of deviation there are four types of transmission tower-
    1) A – type tower – angle of deviation 0o to 2o.
    2) B – type tower – angle of deviation 2o to 15o.
    3) C – type tower – angle of deviation 15o to 30o.
    4) D – type tower – angle of deviation 30o to 60o
    .
    Based on numbers of circuits carried by a transmission tower, it can be classified as-
    1) Single circuit tower
    2) Double circuit tower
    3) Multi circuit tower.

    What are Bundled Conductors?


    We can often see the transmission lines where instead of a single conductor per phase multiple
    conductors per phase are being used. This is called bundled conductor. Three such groups of
    conductor form a single circuit and six groups form a double circuit transmission line.

    Spacers:
    A metallic structure called spacers groups the conductors of a phase. These spaces help to
    maintain a constant distance between the conductors throughout their length, avoid clashing of
    conductors amongst themselves and also allowing them to be connected in parallel. Each phase
    can have two, three, or four conductors.

    (Bundle conductor)
    Conductors used in transmission line:
    1) AAC – All Aluminum Conductor
    2) AAAC – All Aluminium Alloy Conductors
    3) AACSR – All Aluminium Alloy Conductors Steel Reinforced
    4) ACAR – Aluminium Conductors Alloy Reinforced
    5) ACSR – Aluminium Conductors Steel Reinforced
