It fell onto the main north-south high voltage power transmission line.
The authorities blame unexpected storms, tree branches falling on high-voltage power lines (as in the Italian example) and other acts of nature.
Wiens, 27, was injured in 2008 when he was volunteering at his church and his head got too close to a high-voltage power line.
Outages that used to last a few hours now can drag on for the better part of a week as repair crews contend with flooding, downed trees and snapped high-voltage power lines across vast regions.
High voltage is the best way to transmit power (the higher the voltage, the smaller the loss), but high voltage is not usually what the user wants.
Fort Knox began talking about solutions with Nolin Rural Electric Cooperative, which maintains the high-voltage lines bringing power to the base.
New York City, electric power is transmitted by high voltage cables encased in steel pipelines to electric substations where the power is converted to low voltage feeders supplying about 55 distribution networks.
Infineon also provides the thyristor chips that allow transformers to handle high-voltage direct-current power lines.
High-voltage DC can carry power over long distances at lower cost than alternating current, but the transformers still cost too much to make the idea widespread.
That is the reason why the current emphasis in China is on the construction of 500kv extra-high-voltage lines and long-distance power transmission.
We can generate clean, renewable electricity (often in low-demand regions) and get it to where it's needed by building a national smart grid to distribute clean power -- like a high-voltage Internet.
New focus Sharyland Utilities built a high-voltage line to connect Texas with Mexico's power grid.
To send power miles away without huge line losses demanded that electricity be stepped up to a high voltage, then stepped down again at the receiving end.
