A false dead end refers to a point where the transmission line appears to terminate or has support. It resembles a dead end but it’s not an actual end of the line. It is a specific type of termination or anchoring of a conductor in overhead power lines. A false dead end serves as an
False Dead End Future: Tech & Community Help Read More »
A false dead end is a support structure in which conductors anchor but continue on to the next support without finishing. It provides the illusion that the line does not extend beyond that point. This is to dissuade animals and humans from climbing. False dead ends give mechanical support to control the tension and weight of
