Tower top

The tower top is used to carry earth shield wire and this is connected at the tip of
the tower and also known as earth wire
Cross arm
Cross arm is
used to hold insulators and the insulators are used to carry transmission
conductors. The dimension of the cross arm depended upon the level of voltage
to be transmitted.
Cage of transmission tower
It is the portion between the tower body and the peak of the transmission tower.
Mostly the earth shield wire will be connected to this tip peak
Insulator string
Insulator string
is used to carry transmission lines, the number of the insulated string is
depended upon the level of transmission voltage to be transmitted, so if the
voltage level increase then the number of insulators will increase in a string.
Cage of transmission tower
It is the main structure of the transmission tower which provides support to the
whole body of the transmission tower.
Transmission tower body
It is 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 major role to maintain
the required ground clearance of the bottom conductor of the transmission line.
