high-voltage line
Elevated electrical carrier
A high-voltage line is a power cable carrying electricity at high voltage, typically suspended from tall metal towers across long distances.
These transmission lines move electricity efficiently from power plants to substations, where voltage is reduced for local distribution.
The storm knocked down high-voltage lines across the county.
Direct contact is lethal.
