  2. Transmission tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_tower

    A transmission tower (also electricity pylon, hydro tower, or pylon) is a tall structure, usually a lattice tower made of steel that is used to support an overhead power line. In electrical grids, transmission towers carry high-voltage transmission lines that transport bulk electric power from generating stations to electrical substations, from ...

  3. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    The most common conductor in use for transmission today is aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR). Also seeing much use is all-aluminum-alloy conductor (AAAC). Aluminum is used because it has about half the weight of a comparable resistance copper cable (though larger diameter due to lower specific conductivity), as well as being cheaper. [1]

  4. Isosceles triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isosceles_triangle

    In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the vertex angle and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the base angles. [6] The vertex opposite the base is called the apex. [7] In the ...

  5. Catenary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary

    In a catenary of equal strength, the cable is strengthened according to the magnitude of the tension at each point, so its resistance to breaking is constant along its length. Assuming that the strength of the cable is proportional to its density per unit length, the weight, w , per unit length of the chain can be written ⁠ T / c ⁠ , where ...

  6. Trestle support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trestle_support

    In structural engineering, a trestle support (or simply trestle) is a structural element with rigid beams forming the equal sides of two parallel isosceles triangles, joined at their apices by a plank or beam. Sometimes additional rungs are stretched between the two beams. A pair of trestle legs can support one or several boards or planks ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_rope

    Wire rope. Steel wire rope (right hand lang lay) Wire rope is composed of as few as two solid, metal wires twisted into a helix that forms a composite rope, in a pattern known as laid rope. Larger diameter wire rope consists of multiple strands of such laid rope in a pattern known as cable laid. Manufactured using an industrial machine known as ...
