Hybrid Utility Poles and their application in Power System: Refinement in Construction and Design of Conventional Utility Pole

Steel poles are extensively used in various parts of the world for a long time. However, these suffer a massive disadvantage like corrosion and electrocution of humans and animals on a large scale. Researchers have introduced a new kind of poles, FRP material poles; these too suffer the problem of Non-recycling, early electrical breakdown in the rain, and higher cost than steel nearly 5-6 times whereas Hybrid poles provide a convincing alternative to all conventional poles used in the application of transmission and distribution. Hybrid poles are inherently lighter, safer, cheaper, and non-conductive, having the power to withstand in some odd environmental conditions: which makes it more durable and acceptable to install and transport.
