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:
“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“... when I awake in the middle of the night, since I knew not where I was, I did not even know at first who I was; I only had in the first simplicity the feeling of existing as it must quiver in an animal.... I spent one second above the centuries of civilization, and the confused glimpse of the gas lamps, then of the shirts with turned-down collars, recomposed, little by little, the original lines of my self.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
