A transmission tower (zvakare pylon yemagetsi, hydro tower muCanada, uye pylon muBritain) chimiro chakareba, kazhinji shongwe yelattice yakagadzirwa nesimbi inoshandiswa kutsigira tambo yemagetsi pamusoro. Mumagetsi emagetsi, shongwe dzekufambisa dzinotakura mitsara yekufambisa kwepamusoro-soro inotakura simba remagetsi akawanda kubva pamagetsi ekugadzira kusvika kune zviteshi zvemagetsi, kubva kune magetsi anoendeswa kune vashandi vekupedzisira; uyezve, mapango ekushandisa anoshandiswa kutsigira yakaderera-voltage sub-transmission uye mitsara yekuparadzira iyo inotakura magetsi kubva kune substations kuenda kune magetsi vatengi.

Kune zvikamu zvina zvenhurikidzwa dzenhare: (i) shongwe yekumisa, (ii) iyo yakafa-yekupedzisira terminal shongwe, (iii) shongwe yekumanikidza, uye (iv) shongwe yekuchinjisa.[1] Kureba kweshongwe dzekufambisa dzinobva pa15 kusvika pa55 m (49 kusvika 180 ft); [1] akareba ndiwo 380 m (1,247 ft) shongwe dzekufambisa dze2,656 m (8,714 ft) span yeJintang-Cezi Overhead Powerline Link. , pakati pezvitsuwa Jintang neCezi mudunhu reZhejiang, China. Iyo yakareba kureba kweiyo hydroelectric kuyambuka ndiyo Ameralik Span yemagetsi kuyambuka yeAmeralik fjord, ine hurefu hwe5,376 m (17,638 ft). Dzimwe shongwe dzekutapurirana dzinodiwa kudzikamisa shanduko yemamiriro ekunze, saka mu2020s shongwe dzekufambisa dzakave dzakakosha mune zvematongerwo enyika.

Transmission line shongwe dzinowanzoiswa zvichienderana nechimiro, kusanganisira girazi mhando, katsi musoro mhando, yepamusoro mhando, yakaoma mhando uye bhaketi mhando. Zvinoenderana nemabasa ayo, kune tension transmission line towers, suspension transmission line towers, corner transmission line towers, terminal corner transmission line towers (dead end towers), nzizi dzekuyambuka, nezvimwe.
