The tag power=terminal is used for a power terminal, a point of connection where an overhead power line terminates on a building, wall or any other node than power=tower, power=pole or power=portal; for example, when connecting to an indoor substation.
In most cases, it is equivalent to power=insulator + line_management=termination as terminating a power line on a building often requires to anchor it with insulator's help.

A power terminal covers line terminations in substations or other public service buildings and service drops as well.
It should not be confused with transition or supports with location:transition=yes since a termination is not a transition.

How to map

You can map a terminal with a node where the connecting line terminates to the building outline, and tag as follow :

Key	Value	Description	Recommendation
power	terminal	It's a power terminal linking an overhead line to another infrastructure.	Mandatory
line_attachment	anchor	A terminal always involve anchor set on which the line terminates.	Recommended
line_management	termination	A power terminal is always a line termination	Recommended
line_arrangement	Geometry	Geometry of line bundles at the terminal	Optional
operator operator:wikidata	operator	The power terminal operator's name.	Recommended
ref	Terminal reference	Power terminal reference as seen in situation.	Optional
height	height	The height of the terminal from the ground.	Optional

Examples

	Germany	power=terminal line_attachment=anchor line_management=termination line_arrangement=horizontal	A line terminates on a building=transformer_tower and is connected inside though cable entrance.
	Switzerland	power=terminal line_attachment=anchor line_management=termination line_arrangement=horizontal	Two 380 kV lines terminate on this indoor substation building with anchorage and SF6 terminals help. On the picture, the second line isn't yet connected in the background as a temporary status, waiting for other works to be completed.
