	Electricity pylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The towers are usually steel lattices or trusses (wooden structures are used in Germany in exceptional cases) and the insulators are generally glass discs assembled in strings whose length is dependent on the line voltage and environmental conditions.
		Pylons used for single phase AC railway traction lines are similar in construction to pylons used for 110 kV-three phase lines.
		anchor pylons (or strainer pylons) utilize horizontal insulators and occur at the endpoints of conductors.

	Electric power transmission - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Electrical energy is generated by power plants and is then sold as a commodity to end consumers by retailers.
		Electricity is usually sent over long distance through a combination of overhead power transmission lines (such as those in the photo on the right) and buried cables.
		In countries with extensive electric railways, sometimes single phase AC current is used as traction current for railway traction.

	Electric power transmission - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		This is distinct from electricity distribution which is concerned with the delivery from the substation to the consumers.
		In electric railways, sometimes single phase AC current is used as traction current for railway traction.
		The unvarying portion of the electric demand is known as the "base load", and is generally served best by facilities with low variable costs but high fixed costs, like nuclear or large coal-fired powerplants.

	Huddersfield Narrow Canal Pylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Huddersfield Narrow Canal Pylon, (tower designation 4ZO251B), is an electricity pylon which stands with its feet over the Huddersfield Narrow Canal near Heyrod, Stalybridge, Cheshire.
		The Stalybridge substation was built while the canal was closed to navigation, and when the canal reopened it had to pass between the pylon's legs.
		This may be the only electricity pylon in the world under which one can pass in a boat.

	Volts From the Blue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Because electricity is visible only in its effects, it tended to be associated with and understood in terms of the varied airs, vapours, ethers and effluvia which occupied the imagination of natural scientists from the classical period onwards.
		The electric effluvia differ much from air, and as air is the earth’s effluvium, so electric bodies have their own distinctive effluvia; and each peculiar effluvium has its own individual power of leading to union, its own movement to its origin, to its fount, and to the body that emits the effluvium.
		Electricity allowed him a vision of endlessly renewable power, in which the kinetic and the cognitive could operate on commensurable scales, and the world could be powered by mental energies and impulses.

		The cost of alterations to the electricity network and the reinstatement of the underground cable were to fall to the Department of Transport.
		In doing that, it left an electricity pylon that is a scar on the landscape, is in a temporary and, in my view, not terribly stable position—it is on the edge of a cliff—and is visible for miles around.
		We have given proper consideration to the issue of the Southerham pylon and we are aware of the environmental sensitivities locally, as evidenced by the scheme we have developed for the A27 between Southerham and Beddingham.

	Telegraph \| News \| Pylon cancer fears put £7bn blight on house prices
		Up to £7 billion will be wiped off property values if the Government accepts the advice of experts that homes should no longer be built near overhead power lines because of possible links with childhood leukaemia.
		A draft of a report by the committee, seen by The Daily Telegraph, states that building houses within 230ft of high voltage power lines and 115ft of lower voltage lines should be banned.
		It states that whether home and landowners could claim compensation from electricity companies will depend partly on the contractual arrangements between the parties, and whether the Government introduces compulsory or voluntary measures.

	Southerham pylon
		The pylon, which had been erected in 1974 on the understanding that it would provide a temporary diversion of underground cabling during the construction of the then A27 Southerham Bypass, was made permanent by means of a highly dubious process involving the Department of Transport at the time.
		The notice published to overturn the temporary nature of the pylon was published in a different newspaper from the original notice.
		The Department of Transport paid the owners of the land on which the pylon is sited £9,750, well over three times the usual £2,900 easement value, to consent to the pylon’s permanent positioning.

	Flats plan at pylon fight site : Shropshire Star
		Controversial plans were revealed today to build a block of flats on a site that was the subject of a bitter battle to remove an electricity pylon just three years ago.
		Residents won a hard-fought battle to get a huge electricity pylon removed from the site in 2003 after more than five years of campaigning.
		Electricity bosses eventually agreed to lay cables underground to replace the pylon in a project costing £3.75 million after the issue was taken to Parliament.

		But the pylon was situated on a large patch of waste ground between the houses, and when it came down to it, there was nowhere else for us kids to go.
		He lifted the door we used as a bench and leaned it against the struts of one of the pylon's legs.
		Then he made to speak, but all I heard or saw was a fizz of electricity arcing across the metal brace on his teeth.

		Spanish police blew up a bomb placed on a electricity pylon and hunted for another device on Saturday after ETA Basque guerrillas said they had planted them, in what appeared to be a new tactic to hit power infrastructure.
		A caller claiming to represent ETA telephoned a Basque newspaper saying the separatist group had put bombs on two high- tension electricity cable pylons run by grid operator Red Electrica, police said.
		Police quickly found one on a pylon near the French border in the Basque province of Guipuzcoa.

		Depending on conditions, 115,000 volt lines, like those supported by the tower, could shock a person as far away as 6 feet.
		When the man "whizzed" near the conductor (wire), the power arced up his "stream" (urine is an excellent conductor of electricity), travelled up to his private parts, and blew him off the tower.
		The guys at the power company noted a momentary outage on this line and sent repairmen to see if there was any damage.

	The Gorge - Electricity Pylon Design
		The then Central Electricity Board sought to introduce a standard design for the National Grid which was planned at that time.
		The final design was chosen by Sir Reginald Blomfield (a leading architect of the day) and was based on a submission by Milliken Brothers and much later designated PL1 and PL1b.
		The late lamented Pink Pylon was an L2, easily identifiable by the near equal-length crossarms.

		I just had a print of this framed and the framer, who is a watercolourist, thought it was a shame about the electricity pylon and suggested I use software to remove it.
		Say someone liked a photo of a beautiful village and went there to enjoy it then realised that every house really had satellite dishes and telephone cables and the pretty lane was festooned with roadsigns and that the 'village' was surrounded by tower blocks which the photographer had 'removed'.
		The pylon might be an annoyance now but in 50 years it may be quaint.

		However, even in those days, when environmental awareness was less than it is now, there was a strong desire in the local population to have the cable undergrounded because of the picturesque views of the downs and the special nature of the landscape there.
		That was quite proper, as it was the Department of Transport that caused the cable to be moved in the first place.
		The estimated cost in 1976 of removing the temporary pylon and reinstating the underground line, as was promised in the statutory notice in 1975, was £84,000.
