==Long spans== For crossings of large bodies of water, wide freeways, or valleys, where the span width of the conductors is very long, specific constructions must be used to achieve a wider distance between the conductors, mostly to prevent short-circuits which may occur when conductors come in contact with one another due to wind or other interferences. These towers may be built as [[H-frame tower]]s, or may have each conductor placed on a single tower or mast. In every case, these towers are built more stable than most of the other towers used, as the wide span between towers means that much greater forces are placed on these towers.
