High- and medium-voltage power lines in Łomża, Poland Extra high-voltage overhead line 750 kV. Overhead power transmission lines are classified in the electrical power industry by the range of voltages: Low voltage (LV) – less than 1000 Volts, used for connection between a residential or small commercial customer and the utility.
However, in the first years building overhead line when crossing a railway line or a road, a scaffold under the line was required. Later in Germany and some other countries on each end of a powerline crossing of a state-operated railway, a dead-end tower was required, which can still be seen on some old power lines.
In central Europe, lines usually run just straight across fields, rows of poles accompanying roads are quite rare. Utility poles are commonly used to carry two types of electric power lines: [4] distribution lines (or "feeders") and sub transmission lines. Distribution lines carry power from local substations to customers.
Transmission tower in Toronto, ON Single-circuit three-phase transmission line Transmission towers on a hill field. Three-phase electric power systems are used for high voltage (66- or 69-kV and above) and extra-high voltage (110- or 115-kV and above; most often 138- or 230-kV and above in contemporary systems) AC transmission lines.

Underground power lines, whether in common or separate channels, prevent downed utility cables from blocking roads, thus speeding emergency access after natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis.
A company spokesperson said over email the road map commits to burying 1,035 miles of power lines over five years for a total cost of $414 million, subject to approval from state regulators.
