Suzie Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Looks like there are some 132KV pylons being removed from Raleigh (two runs). Don't often see them being removed apart from upgrades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finifin06 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 My small collection I believe the pylons are all pl1/pl1bs but they aren’t entirely accurate also I apologise about the blue tac 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finifin06 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 What sort of power line are these? ive heard other people on this thread refer to them as polons instead of pylons I am familiar with lattice tower designs and classification but I’m not sure what type these are?

Yes they seem to be called polons in some places but pole lines is the same thing. Generally they can be anything up to 66kV but mostly 11kV and 33kV. Some of the larger pole designs especially those with twin poles can be 132kV along with the more recent 'Trident' design -see earlier in thread for drawings of these.

Finifin06 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Does anyone have any pictures of the L66 not sure if it’s a typo but on the gorge there is a pylon called the L66, says it uses 275kv 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some photos I took on a very wet rainy day of the ones to the west of York on the remains of the original XC 275kV line. Cheers Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
