Pylon system and method for extending the electrical transmission capacity of a pylon system

Abstract

The present invention discloses a pylon system having at least two pylons to each of which at least one insulator is fitted, and having at least one first overhead-line conductor, suspended from each of the insulators, that is tensioned between the at least two pylons, characterized in that the pylon system comprises at least one second overhead-line conductor that is suspended from the respective insulators and is in direct electrical contact with the first overhead-line conductor at least in sections. Further, the present invention discloses a method for extending the electrical transmission capacity of a pylon system that comprises at least two pylons and at least one first overhead-line conductor tensioned between the pylons, wherein the first overhead-line conductor is fitted to a respective insulator mounted on the pylon, the method comprising a method step for fitting a second overhead-line conductor to the two pylons such that the second overhead-line conductor is in direct electrical contact with the first overhead-line conductor at least in sections.
