Most bizarre power lines

[Toliman]

Post in this thread pictures of the most bizarre power lines. It does not matter, if you made this picture or found it in the web.

I start with a line in India, found on Google StreetView

That Indian powerline does look........pretty cheap

During world war I, Austrians used living trees as electricity pylons.

highly improved crossbars to increase the distance of the cables to the ground.

Double-delta concrete lattice pylon for transposition.

The following line, which existed until 2016 in Dazhou, China belongs also in this category.

It started at a termination tower built as tubular steel structure.

The second pylon was situated on a rock.

At the third pylon, the overhead line ended and it run further as insulated overhead cable.

On its further way the line was implemented as insulated overhead cable fixed on a thinner steel rope

At a quite tall termination tower a transition from insulated overhead cable to overhead line took place

which was followed by a huge tubular tower for crossing a highrise building

which was followed by a powerline tower on a highrise building (coordinates: 31°11'28"N 107°30'43"E).

The next tower was a lattice tower on a hill

Unfortunately, I have no details on the used voltages and the construction year of the powerline and the highrise building, on which the tower stood.

I remember I already saw this line in another thread. I would say it was not older than 30 years. These steel tube poles look quite modern. Maybe it was an improved structure which was designed to serve for few years only until a cable is finished.
Sadly, Baidu is somewhat slow and limited to urban areas only and there is only few OSM data for chinese power lines so it is difficult to find something in this country.




Transposition pole (???) of the power line from 1905 between Necaxa - Mexico - Oro de Hidalgo

There are these large towers in Monclova, Mexico. I am not sure what their purpose is. They might be disused electricity pylons, experimental towers (Like those in Mannheim-Rheinau) or just a kind of artwork.

There are even more unique electricity pylons in Monclova, serving for power supply of an oversized steelwork.

Is dat geen installatie om trektesten op masten uit te voeren? De te testen mast wordt dan naast deze mast opgebouwd en er worden er kabels tussen beide masten getrokken, vervolgens brengt men mechanische spanning aan op deze kabels om te zien of de te testen mast niet vervormd onder de krachten.
