felsvezeték

Felsvezeték is a Hungarian term that translates to "power line" or "electricity line" in English. It refers to the infrastructure used to transmit electrical energy from power generation facilities to consumers. These lines are typically composed of conductive materials, most commonly aluminum or copper, suspended on poles or towers.

The primary function of a felsvezeték is to carry electricity over long distances. This involves a network of high-voltage transmission lines that transport power from power plants to substations, and then lower-voltage distribution lines that carry the electricity to homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. The voltage is stepped up for transmission to minimize energy loss over distance and then stepped down for safe and efficient use by end-users.

Felsvezeték systems are crucial for modern society, enabling the widespread availability of electricity that powers lighting, heating, cooling, communication, and countless other technologies. The design and maintenance of these lines are critical for ensuring a reliable and safe supply of electricity. Factors such as weather conditions, vegetation encroachment, and physical damage can impact their performance and require ongoing management. The term "felsvezeték" encompasses the entire system, from the large towers of high-voltage transmission lines to the smaller poles carrying electricity to individual buildings.
