The old tower without conductors mentioned in viewtopic.php?p=41513#p41512 right of the 80.55 metres tall Tower 22 of the new line.

The 380 kV branch to Birkenfeld substation consists mainly of strainers. One of the few suspension towers is Tower 26, whose height is 65.2 metres.

All these towers carry on their lowest crossbar two 110 kV single-phase AC circuits (4 conductors) for the reconstruction of the single ...

As described in earlier postings it starts north of Mühlacker-Enzberg from two strainers. The eastern of these strainers (left on the first and ...
