Many think of a transmission line as just overgrown video coax, but it’s more complex than that. The power levels of transmission lines are several magnitudes higher, which means that much more care ...

Modern transmission line projects face several challenges with different priorities than projects in the past. There is now more emphasis on reducing environmental impacts, producing aesthetically ...

Diligent reader Roy McCammon wrote me to point out an article he did over at EETimes. He felt that not many “real” engineers would see it over there, so he wanted ...

Several ‘transmission line folks’ have been discussing for some time how we could start a movement to make transmission lines more architectural and aesthetically pleasing. Maybe if we were to do so, ...

In applications where large forces/torques are required, with a fast response time and high accuracy, hydraulic control systems are essential. They have a more competitive power-weight ratio than ...

While there are no good options for a proposed transmission line across the Texas Hill Country, one option is clearly the least harmful.
