MEGATRO 360KV SC V shaped tangent steel tower
This photo refers to our 360KV SC V shaped tangent steel tower,
MEGATRO 360KV SC V shaped tangent steel tower is a tower with two columns to support the wire and overhead ground wire, which is often used in the case of double overhead ground wire and wire arranged horizontally. It is generally used for transmission lines with a voltage level of 220kV or above, which can be used to improve the stability of the tower, and the column sometimes has a certain slope. The utility of this kind of pole tower is relatively large, and it has a good economic index when the cable is drawn.
MEGATRO provide typical design for 360KV SC V shaped tangent steel tower which used in African power transmission line project, since year 2010, we had been mail supplier for Nigeria PHCN, and NGCP. This monopole has some type such as terminal, transposition and tension tower.
