There are many types of industrial towers, mainly including the following:
Gan-shaped tower: shaped like the Chinese character "gan", suitable for DC and AC transmission lines, mostly straight towers, commonly used in ≥220 kV transmission lines.
Shang-shaped tower: The conductors are arranged in an asymmetrical triangle, suitable for areas with light thunder and light ice, and are often used in power lines with voltage levels of 110 kV and below.
Men-shaped tower: Two columns are used to support the conductors and overhead ground wires, suitable for lines ≥220 kV, and are often used in situations where double overhead ground wires and conductors are arranged horizontally.
V-shaped tower: shaped like a "V", easy to construct, suitable for 500 kV lines, and also used in a small amount in 220 kV.
T-shaped tower: used for ±800 kV ultra-high voltage DC transmission projects, and often used as the main tower for DC transmission.
Wine glass tower: Suitable for transmission lines with voltage levels of 220 kV and above, especially suitable for heavy ice areas or areas with frequent thunderstorms. Cat head tower: A type of high-voltage transmission straight tower, suitable for transmission lines with voltage levels of 110 kV and above, which can effectively save line corridors. Sheep horn tower: The shape is similar to sheep horns and is often used in high-voltage transmission lines.
In addition, there are many other types of towers, such as fork-bone towers, harpoon towers, bridge towers, field-shaped towers, and king-shaped towers, each of which has its specific application scenarios and design characteristics.
