Lutsk Compact Overhead Powerline
An unusual powerline connecting a heating power station with a substation
Category Electrical Oddities
Lutsk Compact Overhead Powerline is a 10 kV powerline connecting a power station with a nearby substation. But it is no normal 10 kV overhead line, as it uses bundles of 6 wires for each conductors. Normally such conductors are only used at lines operated with 750000 volts and more. But this is not the only unusual feature of this line, as the three bundles conductors of each circuit are fit together with insulators on the pylons and in the span-field to a strand, which is fixed with insulators at the crossbar of the pylon. By this unusual construction type the line requires a smaller right of way than a standard line.
However, the line has a third unique feature: it uses lightning rod towers at both sites instead of a ground wire for lightning protection.
