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:
“What compact mean you to have with us?
Will you be pricked in number of our friends,
Or shall we on, and not depend on you?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Indeed, I believe that in the future, when we shall have seized again, as we will seize if we are true to ourselves, our own fair part of commerce upon the sea, and when we shall have again our appropriate share of South American trade, that these railroads from St. Louis, touching deep harbors on the gulf, and communicating there with lines of steamships, shall touch the ports of South America and bring their tribute to you.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
