Compact Transmission Lines
A compact overhead transmission line requires a smaller right of way than a standard overhead powerline. Conductors must not get too close to each other. This can be achieved either by short span lengths and insulating crossbars, or by separating the conductors in the span with insulators. The first type is easier to build as it does not require insulators in the span, which may be difficult to install and to maintain. Examples of compact lines are:
- Lutsk Compact Overhead Powerline 50°46′29″N 25°23′07″E / 50.7746732°N 25.3852147°E / 50.7746732; 25.3852147 (Startpoint of Lutsk Compact Overhead Powerline)
- Hilpertsau-Weisenbach Powerline 48°44′16″N 8°21′20″E / 48.7378978°N 8.3556604°E / 48.7378978; 8.3556604 (Startpoint of Hilpertsau-Weisenbach Powerline)

Compact transmission lines may be designed for voltage upgrade of existing lines to increase the power that can be transmitted on an existing right of way.

Famous quotes containing the words compact and/or lines:
“The Puritans, to keep the remembrance of their unity one with another, and of their peaceful compact with the Indians, named their forest settlement CONCORD.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Wittgenstein imagined that the philosopher was like a therapist whose task was to put problems finally to rest, and to cure us of being bewitched by them. So we are told to stop, to shut off lines of inquiry, not to find things puzzling nor to seek explanations. This is intellectual suicide.”
—Simon Blackburn (b. 1944)
