Main Electric Power Transmission Components are:

·         Conductors: These are used in carrying the electric power to the various distribution stations from the power plant. In a group of conductors, these are joined with Spacers where the number depends upon the voltage level. 

·          Spacers: This help in avoiding the damage caused to the conductors and hence a distance is created between the partial conductors.

·         Insulators: According to the voltage level, these insulators are used to stand with both the normal voltages and used to support the conductors.

·         Earth Wire: This is used to reduce the chances of strikes in direct lightning to the phase conductors. So, at the top of the supporting structure, it is grounded in the earth.

·         Dampers: A damage to the conductor may be caused due to the oscillations and vibrations in the overhead transmission components. In order to reduce this type of mishaps, installation of dampers is done in the overhead transmission.

·         Cross Arms: These play a vital role in holding the insulators line directly. These are designed like an arm and used in order to maintain the conductors at a defined height.

·         Tower: These are made specially in the square shapes and are in contact with the ground with the help of four points. In order to transfer the mechanical load to the other structures, a semi-flexible tower is also designed.

Summary

It would not be wrong to say that Electric power transmission is the lifeline of a country. Transmission Components play a vital role in the huge movement of the electrical energy. And the natural calamities are also sustained by these towers. Transmission towers help in carrying the heavy conductor to a safe height from the ground.
