FAQ Answer
Transmission Vegetation Management involves systematic inspection, pruning and vegetation removal near power lines to ensure conductors have greater clearances. Transmission lines carry higher voltages than distribution lines, resulting in a greater potential for electrical flashover risk. Flashovers occur when electricity jumps from the conductor to nearby vegetation, causing outages and fires.
