Electrical insulators and cables at power station
Power station electricity distribution complex. View of several electrical insulators at an electricity distribution facility at a power station. The insulators, made up of a column of discs of ceramic-like material, are designed to prevent any electricity being lost to the ground or nearby metal objects. At distribution facilities such as this one, electricity is dispatched through cables borne on pylons to sub- stations in nearby towns and cities

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures the intricate network of electrical insulators and cables at a power station's electricity distribution complex. The image showcases the vital role these insulators play in preventing any loss of electricity to the ground or nearby metal objects. The photograph reveals a mesmerizing sight, with multiple columns of ceramic-like discs forming each insulator. These carefully designed structures ensure that the flow of electricity remains uninterrupted, safeguarding its efficient transmission throughout the facility. At this bustling distribution facility, electricity is dispatched through sturdy cables supported by towering pylons. These cables carry power to sub-stations located in nearby towns and cities, enabling communities to benefit from reliable energy sources. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of technology and industry that powers our modern lives. It highlights how physics and engineering principles come together seamlessly to create an intricate web of electrical infrastructure. The image serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit for innovation and progress in harnessing energy efficiently. It symbolizes our reliance on advanced systems like transformers, which facilitate safe transmission across vast distances. Science Photo Library has once again captured a momentous scene that encapsulates both beauty and functionality within one frame—a testament to their commitment to showcasing scientific marvels through visually stunning imagery.
