About this site Deutsch English Dangers through open-wire lines 1.
Many birds choose pylons as a place for resting.
That leads to a fatal electric shock. The most dangerous ones are the supporting and the dead-end towers as well as pylons with dividers that are unsuitably constructed. Dead-end towers in this respect are twice as threatening, because of wires above the transverse beam and of the small distances to the parts under voltage in the horizontal line. Pylon dividers build their own catagory, even on the accident records. The most frequent cause of death of the white stork are accidents at medium voltage pylons.
