    Why Conductors for high voltage transmission lines are suspended from towers?

    Answer -A is practical wrong bcz if you suspend something it will come closure to the ground mind it.

    Right Answer is to maintain safe voltage and distance from tower structure and cross arm. tower height is pre-designed to take care of conductor distance from the ground.
