A pylon does NOT do anything in a power plant. A pylon is a lattice tower, with cables connecting pylon to pylon. It is these cables that transmit electricity from the power plant to industrial/domestic users.
Power plant/generator makes electricity
Electricity is then passed into a transformer to convert it to a given voltage and amperage, for transmission by the wires/cables connected across pylons.
It then goes into another transformer(substation), where the voltage and amperage are changed down to the locally required voltage/amperage, e.g. the electrical plug/socket to power your computer, or turn on the electric light.
The voltage in the connecting cables of pylons can be as high as 400,000 volts. At the substation it is reduced to 250V/ 110V for local use.
Pylon towers look very inviting to climb. Usually they have a barbed wire fence just above the tower base. This is to stop silly people trying to climb them, because 1. you can fall off an hundred feet. and 2. if you touch the liver connecting cables at 400,000 V , you will be burnt to death/electrocuted. Between the tower/pylon, and electric wires/cables there are 'glass/ceramic' insulators, to prevent electrical discharge/short-circuit.

What is usually carried on a pylon?
A pylon typically carries electrical wires or cables to transmit power or data, such as on power lines or communication towers.
How heavy is an electricity pylon?
An average electricity pylon typically weighs around 10-20 tons, depending on its design and size. The weight can vary based on the materials used, such as steel or concrete, and the height of the pylon.
What is MW power plant?
A MW power plant, or a megawatt power plant, is a power generation facility that produces electricity at a rate of one million watts. It is a unit of power measurement and is commonly used to describe the capacity of a power plant. MW power plants can be thermal, hydroelectric, renewable, or any other type of power plant that generates electricity.
Why do pylon wires fall down?
Pylon wires can fall down due to factors such as severe weather conditions (like strong winds or heavy snow), overloading of the wires, or structural issues with the pylons themselves. Maintenance issues or accidents, such as construction work or vehicle collisions, can also result in pylon wires falling down.
If 35 percent of the fuel is converted into electricity this is called the what of the power plant?
It is the efficiency of the power plant.
What is usually carried on a pylon?
A pylon typically carries electrical wires or cables to transmit power or data, such as on power lines or communication towers.
What is an anchor pylon?
An anchor pylon is an end point which utilizes horizontal insulators and occur at the end points of high-power transmission lines.

a pylon. (scientifical version)
How much electricity is there in a pylon?
three main types of power cable,,,400,000volts,275,000volts,and 132,000volts
What is a 5 letter word for power line tower?

What is a tall metal structure called that carries power lines overland?
A tall metal structure that carries power lines overland is called a transmission tower or electric pylon. These structures provide support for the overhead power lines, allowing electricity to be distributed across long distances.
What does pylon mean?
pylon means a guy who keeps an eye on others girlfriends...
When was The Pylon Express created?
The Pylon Express was created on 1975-10-25.
What does a Pylon power cable do?
A pylon power cable, often referred to as overhead power lines, transmits electricity from power generation stations to substations and ultimately to consumers. These cables are suspended from tall structures known as pylons or towers, which help maintain the necessary height and clearance for safety. They are designed to handle high voltages and are essential for the efficient distribution of electrical power over long distances.
