Network description

Most of the PDC stations transform 33kV into 10kV, while PT transformers usually convert 10kV down to 400V. There are exceptions to this rule. 33kV lines come from several large PDC stations, located in Chisinau, Straseni, Balti and Vulcanesti. They are directly connected to powerplants via 100 and 400 kV lines.

Powerlines from powerplants down to PDC units should be makked as power=line. Powerlines from PDC's down to the end user are power=minor_line.

Mapping process and community

Mapping success stories

TODO : Success stories are designed to highlight important contributions. Have you significantly improved the cartography of a country (added a new line, a power station, etc.)? Don't be shy, let us know below.

• Example : NAME [DATE YYYY-MM-DD]: My success stories in words.

Encountered problems and places to improve

Use of mapping strategies

TODO : Mapping strategies refer to Power networks/Guidelines#Mapping strategies. They are used for a methodical improvement of the OSM database. Once you have fully applied a strategy in this country, you should add or update your name, the date, the strategy, and a comment below. This way, other users can see whether it is worthwhile to carry out further investigations.

• Example : Search for "Unfinished major power lines" - last time applied by XXX [2025-MM-DD]
