...and what about AC/DC? (not the Rock band!!) --RalpH himself 20:05, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

...or Hz on AC lines? --Skippern 16:53, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Found it: frequency=* (see Map_Features#Power), and set 0 for DC. --RalpH himself 08:15, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

...and what about 3-phase? This really matches nowhere, although I personally would make it part of the frequency (which is closest of all), like 50(3) for 50Hz 3-phase. Exact syntax has to be figured out, maybe a new tag introduced. --RalpH himself 08:15, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Unused lines

Hello, what about lines which has been switched off in past and are not used currently? I propose the following tagging: voltage=0/former_voltage e.g. voltage=0/25000. The zero is supposed to mean, that there is no voltage any more on the line. What's your opinion? --DB1BMN 09:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

How about using voltage:primary voltage:secondary ?

Would it not be an idea to adopt this tagging for power lines with multiple circuits that have different voltage? It is not uncommon around here to see 66kV on top and 22kV below. The key is already in use for transformers.

Used on areas?

Is there a reason for changing onArea to yes? --Andrew (talk) 11:21, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes - voltage is used on power=substations which are tagged as areas. - Russss (talk) 11:24, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Correct voltage tagging for multiple phases

I have come across some distribution lines (power=minor_line) in some rural areas where there are only 2 cables present, in this case there are 2 cables and a neutral present. That is, 2 phases out of a 3 phase system

How would you describe the voltage of the line? Would you do phase to phase voltage or phase to neutral?

Pretty sure you count L-L still as long as there are two phases. --Gazer75 (talk) 23:41, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
Agreed, on AC multi phase systems, let's count voltage between phases as phase-neutral can be deduced. It will be simpler Fanfouer (talk) 08:09, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
