Rhine overhead line crossing Hirzenach-Oberkestert
The Rhein-Overhead line crossing Hirzenach-Oberkestert is erected in 1936, between Hirzenach and Oberkestert preferred Overhead line crossing . It is part of the single-circuit 110 kV connection between the Dörth and Nochern substations . It is the only overhead line crossing of the Rhine between Bingen and Koblenz . The topography of the site is used. A special feature of the overhead line, whose span is 734 meters, is that a separate mast is used for each conductor cable at each end of the span. Such constructs are quite common in some countries like Norway, but rare in Germany.
construction
The 734 meter long overhead line crossing consists of four conductor cables, three of which form the circuit and one as a reserve. There are four overhead line masts at each end to accommodate one conductor cable. The last mast before is listed as a single-level mast , the rest of the high-voltage line runs over fir tree masts . Four of these in front of the overhead line crossing as well as the single-level masts and the crossing masts themselves are provided with red and white warning markings.
Further examples
Another river crossing of a power line, a separate mast is used in the cable for each conductor, is located in Germany between Hirschhorn and Ersheim at 49 ° 27 '7 " N , 8 ° 54' 3" O . In the course of a 110 kV line that has been expanded for two circuits at the western end of the Neckar crossing, a total of six masts are used for one conductor each. However, such masts are only located at the western end of the span, as these are the last ones before the connection to a substation . In addition, this line is only operated with one circuit.
