Power

Used to map electrical power generation and distributions systems. See Power for further information.

Key Value Element Comment Rendering Photo
power cable_distribution_cabinet Node 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. Kvs2.jpg
power generator Node Area A place where power is generated. Use in combination with generator:source=*, generator:method=* and generator:output=*. Rendering-power-generator-mapnik.png Huntly Power Station.JPG
power line Way 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. Mapnik-power.png Electric transmission lines.jpg
power minor_line Way 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.)
Pole3.jpg
power pole Node For single (often wooden or concrete) poles carrying high/medium voltage electricity cables.
Minor.jpg
power station Node Area 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. Mapnik-power.png Forest Hill Substation.jpg
power sub_station Node Area 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). Mapnik-power.png 433 Volt Padmounted Substation.jpg
power tower Node 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. Power-tower mapnik.png Benkid77 Puddington-Shotwick footpath 24 110809.JPG
cables 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, ... Way 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 Way Use this if the line is underground. (disputed, see also location=underground)
