lattice anchor pylon / lattice terminal tower Explanation: These pylons have tension insulators (in line with the cables) as distinct from suspension pylons that have vertical insulators. They may not be at the end of the power-line where cables drop to the substation - they are also used along the route to take the strain in the event that a cable or insulator ruptures at some intermediate point.

dead-end lattice tower Explanation: Dead End Tower A DEAD-END LATTICE TOWER will be located approximately 210 ... Engineering concept of new dead-end tower on proposed new right-of-way at ... www.bctc.com/.../project_consultation/mission_matsqui_trans... In a transmission line, a DEAD-END TOWER is a tower where the conductors mechanically terminate. In a dead-end tower, the insulator string is in line with the conductor. A short section of conductor connects each side, or connects the line to some component, such as a circuit breaker. Dead-end towers have other differences from suspension towers: they are built stronger, they often have a wider base, and they often have stronger insulator strings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead-end_tower http://fra.proz.com/kudoz/443081 DEAD-END TOWER Type of tower configuration used at heavy-angle points and at positions along the tower line to separate long straight sections of towers. These towers are required to maintain clearances between the energized conductor and the steel tower body. The towers are considerably heavier and stronger to withstand a structure failure along the line on either side of the dead end. http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/Environment/info/aspen/jefferson_mart... |
