Usage
- See also: Power
For mapping electrical power lines and associated infrastructure. See Power for more details.
Values
See below for common usage of the power tag:
| Key | Value | Element | Comment | Rendering | Photo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| power | cable_distribution_cabinet | 
|
In these cabinets, the 400-V circuits to the house connections, connection and transfer points of the regional utilities are branched. Other uses include distributions of the municipal street lighting. | 
| |
| power | generator | 
|
A place where power is generated. Use in combination with generator:source=*, generator:method=* and generator:output=*. | 
|
|
| power | line | 
|
A way following the path of power cables. For minor power lines with poles and not towers, you may want to use power=minor_line. | 
|
|
| power | minor_line |
|
A way following the path of minor power cables, supported by poles and not towers/pylons. (This isn't quite so simple, as sometimes larger towers are replaced by smaller poles made with a stronger material; a better distinction might be based on voltage.) |  | |
| power | pole |
|
For single (often wooden or concrete) poles carrying high/medium voltage electricity cables. |  | |
| power | station |
|
A tag for electricity stations. These provide voltage step-up/step-down, switching, circuit breakers, conditioning, etc. between high-voltage long-distance transmission lines and medium-voltage local distribution lines. Note that, in the US, these are individually named and are called "substations" by their operators (e.g. "Mesa Substation") - do NOT use power=sub_station to tag them. Don't forget to tag fenced=yes, if fenced. |
|
|
| power | sub_station |
|
A tag for electricity sub-stations. Smaller than a station. Could be a box near street. Do NOT use this tag for what is called a "substation" in the US (see power=station). |
|
|
| power | tower |
|
For towers or pylons carrying high voltage electricity cables. Normally constructed from steel latticework. Should not be used for electricity or telephone cables carried on single wooden poles, which might be tagged power=pole. Use circuits=n to specify the capacity of the tower in 3-phase circuits (typical 6-wire HV tower would be circuits=2). Use tower_type=a_frame,h_frame,u_frame,monopole,dipole,... to describe the type of tower. | 
|
|
| cables | 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, ... |
|
Number of power-carrying cables represented by this way. The power line on the photo (click on it to see more details) has 6 double cables (the cable on top does not carry power) and thus may be tagged as cables=6 and wires=double. | 
|
|
| tunnel | yes |
|
Use this if the line is underground. | ||
| voltage | ..., 110000, 220000, 380000, 400000, ... |
|
Voltage of the power line. |
|
|
| wires | single, double, triple, quad |
|
Number of wires per power cable. "single" (1), "double" (2), "triple" (3) or "quad" (4). The photo shows an example of "double". |
|
