Korkeajänteisen

Korkeajänteisen is a Finnish term that translates to "high-tension" or "high-stress" in English. It is primarily used in the context of electricity and telecommunications to describe cables or wires that carry a significant electrical load or are designed to withstand considerable physical strain. This can refer to power lines that transmit electricity over long distances at high voltages, or it can describe structural cables used in engineering projects such as bridges or suspension structures where maintaining high tension is critical for stability.

In electrical engineering, "korkeajänteisen" often pertains to high-voltage transmission lines. These lines are essential for efficiently moving electrical power from generating stations to distribution networks. The high voltage reduces current, which in turn minimizes energy loss due to resistance in the conductors. Therefore, the cables themselves are designed to handle these high potentials safely and reliably.

In a structural context, "korkeajänteisen" might be used to describe components that are intentionally kept under significant tension. For example, in suspension bridges, the main cables are under immense tensile stress, holding the deck of the bridge in place. The engineering and material science involved in creating such "korkeajänteisen" structures are highly advanced, ensuring durability and safety under demanding conditions. The term emphasizes the substantial force being exerted and managed within the system.
