Electric towers, also known as power towers or transmission line towers, are an indispensable part of the power transmission system, primarily used to protect and support overhead power lines. The electric tower manufacturer Junjiang understands the importance of electric towers in the power system. Electric towers are mainly composed of top frames, lightning conductors, conductors, tower body, and tower legs. The top frame supports the overhead power lines, the lightning conductor reduces the danger of lightning strikes, the conductor transmits electrical current, and the tower body and legs together support the entire tower. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the various components of the electric tower and their functions.
The top frame is a key component at the top of the electric tower, installed at the tower's peak to support the power lines. As one of the electric tower manufacturers, we provide various shapes of top frames according to customer needs. The design of the top frame directly impacts the stability and safety of the power lines.
The lightning conductor is typically grounded and relies on the ground resistance to discharge the lightning current, thereby reducing lightning overvoltage and minimizing the lightning current that flows through the tower. The installation of the lightning conductor is a critical measure for lightning protection in electric towers, effectively preventing lightning strikes from damaging the power system. Junjiang strictly follows industry standards in the design and installation of lightning conductors to ensure the safe operation of electric towers.
The conductor is the core component of the electric tower, responsible for conducting electricity. To minimize energy loss due to corona discharge and electromagnetic interference, the arrangement of the conductors must be carefully designed. In addition to the equilateral triangle arrangement, the distance between the three conductors can also be adjusted according to specific requirements. As one of the electric tower manufacturers, we provide high-quality conductors to ensure the efficiency and stability of power transmission.
The tower body is made of steel and connected with bolts, forming the main structure that supports the entire electric tower. Common tower body structures include four-pillar angle steel and three-pillar steel tube types. The tower body not only supports the overhead transmission lines and ground wires but also ensures sufficient safety distance between the conductors, between the conductors and ground wires, between the conductors and the tower, as well as between the conductors and the ground or crossing objects. As one of the electric tower manufacturers, we focus on every detail in the design and manufacturing of the tower body to ensure its strength and durability.
The tower legs are typically anchored to the concrete ground and fixed with base bolts. The depth at which the tower legs are buried in the soil, called the tower leg embedment depth, directly impacts the stability and wind resistance of the electric tower. The firmness of the tower legs is the foundation for the safe operation of the entire electric tower. As one of the electric tower manufacturers, we use advanced manufacturing processes to ensure the strength and durability of the tower legs.
Electric towers are the core pillars of the power transmission system, and their design, manufacturing, and installation require a high level of expertise and technical capability. As a leading electric tower manufacturer in the industry, Junjiang, with years of experience and advanced technology, provides high-quality and highly reliable electric tower products to customers. Junjiang strictly adheres to industry standards to ensure that each electric tower meets the power transmission requirements.
