The three next section consist of a bipolar HVDC 500 kV-line. The first section of this line running from Similajau Static Inverter Plant to Kampung Pueh on Borneo will be implented as overhead line with a length of 670 km.
The next section is the submarine cable between Kampung Pueh to Tanjung Leman, Johor. It will have a length of 670 km. It is planned to be implemented by 3 or 4 paralleized cables each with a transmission capacity of 700 MW.
The last section on Malaysia peninsula will consist of an overhead DC powerline running from Tanjung Leman to the static inverter plant at Bentong.

Famous quotes containing the word lines:
“Child of Light! thy limbs are burning
Through the vest which seems to hide them;
As the radiant lines of morning
Through the clouds ere they divide them;
And this atmosphere divinest
Shrouds thee wheresoe’er thou shinest.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
