Lose of Electrical Energy.

When energy-transmission wires are carried overhead on wooden poles there is no appreciable loss of energy in the poles, but when high-ten-sion lines are carried on steel poles or towers the steel of the structures becomes magnetized to some extent and ewergy losses take place. This is particularly likely to occur if any one of the wires passes through a closed loop of steel in the structure of the tower. The only question of importance to the electrical engineer is whether the losses thus incurred are sufficiently great to be sirious from any practical standpoint—Electrical World. \
