Utility Poles

Utility Poles

US/Canadian type high/low tension power pole splines. The top primary HT wires are high voltage that varies between 13kv and 23kv. On some poles, next below are the cylinder type reducing transformers that transform the current to 240/120 volts, 1/3 phase. The lower secondary LT wires can be either low current 240/120v, or high current up to 7kv. Below this are yet another set of insulated pvc cables for telephone and cable TV. Sometimes these poles have lamps attached to them. With all this clutter on one pole, they are normally called Utility Poles. Unlike suburban areas in the UK where most of the service cables are underground, these Utility Poles are a common sight in US and Canadian suburbs. Only city centres have the service cables underground. These models are very accurate in dimensions, and these ones are all 12 metres high (approx 40ft) which is the correct height for these lines, but the height is adjustable. In Surveyor, Objects Panel/Splines under USA, Power/Utility Poles, is where to locate them. These models and textures were created with Discreet's GMAX and Paint Shop Pro programs. Tested on an Athlon 2400XP, with ATI Radeon with latest drivers, WinXP, and TRS2004, June 2004.
