POWER LINES 1 - 5 months ago

Power lines are the third or fourth things I see every morning. There are over 50 of them in Kagadama, Bauchi state.

Every morning, when I shuffle out of my room, the towers effortlessly announce the majestic presence of the power lines.

All I ever have to do is look up and behold the numbers of carefully assembled conductors, towers, cross arms, guy wires and lightning arresters, beautifully consolidated into power lines. 

I've gotten so acquainted with seeing power lines that each morning when I step outside my room here in Kagadama I involuntarily stare at them for long, almost losing track of time.

I'm completely mesmerized by the structure and functions of these towers. Power lines are instrumental in electricity distribution. They carry about 110kV and above. Others are designed to carry sub-transmission voltage, 66kV and 33kV.

These are high voltage. According to Wikipedia, humans may die when they come in contact with an alternating current (AC) between 100-250 volts. There are even cases of deaths attributed to lower voltages, as low as 42 volts.
