This tag describes the functional type or role of the transmission tower, such as anchor tower. Please note that the tower:type=* tag has other meanings when used in combination with man_made=tower.
| Key | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pole:type | suspension | A tower which supports the conductors vertically using suspension insulators. This is the default type and need not be tagged. However it may be useful to tag a suspension tower if it is used as an angle tower (an anchor tower would normally be expected here) |
| pole:type | anchor | A tower where conductor sections terminate at strain insulators. It is normally built stronger than suspension towers. Mostly used as angle tower when the line changes direction. |
| pole:type | termination | A tower with strain insulators used at the end of a line, for example at a substation or at the transition to an underground cable (add location:transition=yes). Designed to resist the full one-sided tension of the conductors. |
| pole:type | branch | A line branch starts at this tower. If the branch line is a cable then add location:transition=yes. The branching can take different forms which can be indicated by the following tags.
