The tag building=transformer_tower represents a tall building specially designed to connect to an overhead medium voltage power line (power=minor_line) and to house a small substation with a distribution transformer. Often, the power line has been dismantled and replaced by an underground cable. However, the building may still be in use as a substation.
How to map
Map the building and add the tag building=transformer_tower.
If the building is still in use as a substation then it should also get the following tags:
power=substationsubstation=minor_distributionvoltage=*(if the voltages are known, e.g.voltage=20000;400)
Other optional tags:
operator=*(the name of the power company)ref=*,name=*(any reference number or name the power company may use to refer to this substation)
