Jõujohtmed

Jõujohtmed, often translated as power lines or transmission lines, are essential components of electrical power systems. They are conductors, typically made of copper or aluminum, used to transport electrical energy from generating stations to substations and then to consumers. These lines are suspended on poles or towers to keep them elevated above the ground, preventing contact with people and infrastructure. The voltage carried by these lines can vary significantly depending on their purpose. High-voltage transmission lines carry electricity over long distances, minimizing energy loss due to resistance. Lower-voltage distribution lines then deliver this power to homes and businesses. The design and construction of jõujohtmed are crucial for reliable and safe electricity delivery, with considerations for factors like weather conditions, environmental impact, and electrical safety standards. Maintenance and inspection are also vital to ensure the integrity of the network and prevent disruptions.
