Proximity to overhead lines?

[JD6400]

Clean you're ears out and ask again. You, dear boy, are talking compete and utter bo££ox

Which part ?
One of them did say that just down the road it goes from horizontal to vertical and then back to horizontal on the same run within a couple of miles , but the others said that as we were on the boarder line of their patch it was not a line they knew and he was talking Bo!!ockz anyway !:lol: ( They all seemed rather jolly in their approach to each other and were actually quite amusing when they got going !)

Does this mean that the author of post number 10 is wrong?!

Anyone care to post any photo's of DNO vertically hung MV/HV distribution lines on single poles?? lol!!

The only overhead vertically hung HV system distributions are on network pylons. There are reasons why they are horizontally hung on single pole installations too, and it's not just for recognition between MV/HV -LV either!! ..lol!!

Next time you're in the UK have a trip to Mansfield. Go in on the Sutton road. Look to you're right and........... You and I know there's never fixed rules. On LV, is neutral always at the top? Some locations have special requirements / dispensation due to environmental conditions that rule that situation out. Sorry for the long paragraph, new laptop and "Enter" won't give a line break on this forum.

Role on Monday and I get rid of this damn laptop for an older one that doesn't need Widows 8 to work.

Dispensations i can accept, as you say these things always crop up. But generally MV overhead sub-distribution lines will be run in a horizontal order!! As for overhead LV, the neutral is generally at the bottom, rather than at the top. Especially in the case when street lighting is taken directly from the overhead lines, via an extra timed phase lighting line, and using the common neutral!!


Question, ....Do they still allow MV and LV overhead lines to be run on the same wooden poles?? I did hear they were phasing this out, and that no new installations of this type were being installed.

I know of a few places in Oxfordshire where there is some MV that is vertical, makes it easier to turn a sharp bend

 

[Knobhead]

There were a few places in the Peak District where MV & LV shared the same pole. Don't know if they're still there. The mention of another set of poles would have the Peak Park Planning Board throwing a hissy fit. I wanted an 11KV OH line put in. Gave up and installed a DG set, it was easier.

We had to hide the DG set in an old water mill. Anything you wanted to do you had the PPPB on you're back. Painting you're windows could land you in court. And did!

Quite common to see this in Cyprus, (more so in the rural areas) and a good few other countries too. It can get a bit congested where pole transformers come in to play, especially when there is also an under ground MV SWA cable coming up the pole to feed another overhead string some distance away!! lol!!

From what I saw in north Africa, they could get anything up a pole. Except me! I'm just mad, not suicidal!
