Portal pylon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In electricity distribution, a portal pylon is a type of pylon with which the cross beams on the conductor cables rest on at least two towers. Portal pylons can be made of wood, concrete, steel tubing or steel lattice. They are used in German railroad wiring because of their enormous space requirement as a rule only for anchor pylons, which have to resist high traction power and as bases for lines in switchgears as anchor portals.
