Usage

See line_attachement=* for global usage guidelines.

A support where line sections are hold with strain tension sets.

• Tension set (466-12-04) : An assembly of strain link and an anchor clamp to maintain the mechanical tension in a line/cable. Insulators are used as link in case of bare power conductors.
• Anchor clamp (466-11-10) : A device fitting a line/cable to a strain link as to maintain the mechanical tension in the line. The clamp is at the live end of insulators in case of bare power conductors.

Corresponding supports are normally built stronger than suspension towers as they are supposed to maintain the mechanical tension in the line through tension sets and anchor clamps.
Often used as angle tower when the line changes direction. Lines often terminate on anchors even if it's not mandatory.

Examples

Power

Photo	Location	Tagging	Note
	Germany	power=tower line_attachment=anchor	Although insulators are vertical here, it's an actual anchor support. Look closely to conductors vs insulators link : conductors are cut and clamped right under the insulation chain.
Anchor power line clamping	Germany	power=tower line_attachment=anchor	Traditional power line anchorage clamping with strain insulators mechanically holding each conductor
	France	power=portal line_attachment=anchor	A high voltage line anchorage on a metallic power portal
	France	power=pole line_attachment=anchor material=concrete switch=mechanical	20 kV power line anchorage on a concrete pole supporting a power switch

Telecoms

Photo	Location	Tagging	Note
	France	telecom=pole (Theoretically) line_attachment=anchor material=wood	A telecom pole made of wood where households lines are anchored on.

Multi-utilities

	France	power=pole line_attachment=(suspension)|(anchor) material=concrete	A pole can host several different configuration like this one. Suffixes help to give all details about line supported by the pole.
