Overhead lines or overhead wires are used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains. Overhead line is designed on the principle of one or more overhead wires situated over rail tracks. Feeder stations at regular intervals along the overhead line supply power from the high-voltage grid.
The first overhead power line was built from Necaxa to Mexico City and El Oro de Hidalgo in 1905, when the hydroelectric plant in Necaxa opened. This 60 kV power line also was the world's longest power line in 1905. Despite the age, parts of the power line are still in service. [22] Around 1930, central Mexico already had an interconnected grid.
Aerial bundled cables (also aerial bundled conductors or simply ABC) are overhead power lines using several insulated phase conductors bundled tightly together, usually with a bare neutral conductor. This contrasts with the traditional practice of using uninsulated conductors separated by air gaps.
The installation of overhead lines may require reconstruction of bridges to provide safe electrical clearance. [20] Overhead lines, like most electrified systems, require a greater capital expenditure when building the system than an equivalent non-electric system. While a unelectrified railway line requires only the grade, ballast, ties and ...

A pothead is a type of insulated electrical terminal used for transitioning between overhead line and underground high-voltage cable or for connecting overhead wiring to equipment like transformers. [1] Its name comes from the process of potting or encapsulation of the conductors inside the terminal's insulating bushing.
Mexico’s president said Wednesday that he expects the U.S. government or U.S. banks to provide interest-free loans to build four wind-power farms in the narrow waist of southern Mexico, an area ...
Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines. The outer strands are high-purity aluminium , chosen for its good conductivity, low weight, low cost, resistance to corrosion and decent mechanical stress resistance.
