Suez Canal overhead line crossing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Suez Canal overhead line crossing was built in 1998 and is designed for 2 circuits of 500kV. Because the required clearance over the Suez Canal is 152 metres, the overhead line has in spite of its small span width of 600 metres two 221 metre high pylons on either side of the crossing. The pylons each have 4 crossarms, 3 for the conductors and one for catching the conductors in case of an insulator string failure.
