Truncated 33kV power line? Doesn't go anywhere?
https://goo.gl/maps/9aGZCUHwTS92
Here we see a path leading up to an old railway line, now a tarmacked cycle/walking/horse path. Note the 33kV power line. I went for a walk to the East (right of the picture), and after about a 25 minute walk the power line came to an end. A pole similar to the one in the link, but the wires just stopped, no transformer, no underground wire coming off it. Is this something they half built? Did it supply a farm that was closed down? 2/3rds of the way along, it does go underground for a very short distance (about 5 or 10 metres), presumably to keep it from touching another set of similar lines running at right angles. But as far as I can see, the wire doesn't go anywhere, just links the two poles underground. One of those poles is labelled "Castlebridge No.2 33kV feeder", which I can't find any information about. Is there a detailed map of these things anywhere? |

Land at Castlebridge Business Park, Alloa, FK10 3PZ NS938925 Deferred I've driven past the entrance to that (in fact also today, on the way to the walk I mentioned above), it's had the land on sale for years. And that is indeed approximately where the line stops. That power line doesn't look big enough to take power from a power station though, perhaps to feed the business park? How much power goes along those lines? I know it's 33kV 3 phase, but I don't know what the current is. All I can say is the underground part went through an approximately 3 inch diameter armoured cable, and the individual conductors look about half an inch thick (judging by a pigeon sat on one! I didn't let my parrot fly up to have a look incase it was live! Yes I was actually taking my parrot for a walk - on my shoulder, with a lead, amusing everyone else out walking!) Which may or may not be related to https://www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/n...f_t rade_debt Whoops! Everyone trying to cash in on the renewable nonsense. |

Unless you need to be contacted by email for some reason, I doubt it'll matter. Just don't lose your password etc :-) |
