high voltage lines
Overhead electrical conductors
High voltage lines are electrical cables that carry power at elevated voltages, typically thousands of volts, for efficient long-distance transmission.
They're the thick cables suspended between tall metal towers crossing rural and suburban landscapes: The high voltage lines hummed overhead.
Warning signs mark areas where contact could be fatal.
