On December 27th, 2023 I was again at the startpoint of the future branch from the 380 kV-line Philippsburg - Pulverdingen to Birkenfeld. Meanwhile the line from Philippsburg to Pulverdingen is working again. The eastern of these towers (left on the first picture, right on the second and third pictu...

Tower 138 of Facility 348, the first pylon of the 380 kV-branch to Kupferzell. It has a height of 43.68 metres.

The last towers of the 380 kV-line from Grafenrheinfeld before the branching. The last four towers of this line before the branch tower carried until 2015 a communication cable on the horizontal joist of the pinnacle.

A closer look to the such called "Mast X", where the two 380 kV circuits from Grafenrheinfeld split into the line to Kupferzell (leaving the picture on the right) and to Höpfingen (leaving the picture on the left). The branch to Kupferzell was until 2015 equipped with a communication cable...

The 380 kV-powerline Grafenrheinfeld-Stalldorf-Kupferzell and the 380 kV-powerline Grafenrheinfeld-Höpfingen are between Grafenrheinfeld and Rittershausen installed on the same pylons. West of Ritttershausen at the such called "Mast X" the lines split. The right branch runs to Höpfingen, t...

As I know the powerline Vetrino–Isaccea–Yuzhnoukrainsk worked before the synchronisation of the Romanian and Bulgarian power grid with that of central Europe with 750 kV. Its voltage was lowered to 400 kV after the synchronisation of the Romanian power grid to that of central Europe as it would have...

A very interesting powerline can be found in Cluj-Napoca, see https://www.google.de/maps/@46.7742759,23.5877128,3a,15y,240.22h,92.43t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s-pgq1QYXEpoYKXW6fWwsZw!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D-pgq1QYXEpoYKXW6fWwsZw%26cb_client%3Dmaps_...

My last posts showed various communication cables installtions along high voltage power lines. In this posting, the communication cable, which is installed on the pylons of the 110 kV-powerline Brendlorenzen-Kleinbardorf, is shown. It is wrapped around the conductor rope, which is attached to the in...
