Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

That isn't a Phone pole, it is carrying 3 phase, @The Velvet Curtain could probably tell you what voltage it runs at.

24v dc minimum definitely

and a close up of the turbine, for perspective the telephone line pole is at the most 15-20 feet away from the bike, the turbine must be at least 100 feet away.

I know where that is, first time I've seen that field with rapeseed, it's usually grain

Just waiting for the washing machine to finish to hang it all out so to speak and then i can go cycling.

In the meantime, have a foot

That is a big foot, where's the bike?

 

[TVC]

I'm not sure I'd go that far, TVC

No, she's not that tall.

 

[GM]

That is a big foot,

Yeah, it's a good 12 inches.

New challenge :
Theme : Something big!

Please take lots of pictures of your bike and something big/outsize.
Photos to be taken between now and the end of the challenge.

Closing date : Sunday evening, 5th June.

I hope you will enjoy this one. Have fun....

I will do the honours but I'm too tired and I'm going to head to bed, but congratulations Katherine... I found that challenge hard.... I kept eating the competition entry requirements

I've edited the closing date on the new challenge .

Are you going to post it in the sticky thread please? @summerdays or @Spinney Thanks

I think summerdays has already done it? If not, what exactly needs doing? (It's usually summerdays who deals with the photo challenge...)

Thanks, it looks like she has now.
Thanks @summerdays.

24v dc minimum definitely

If it were a 'phone pole it would be 50v DC, a telegraph pole would carry 80v DC.

Mind, there's 3 wires which rather implies 3phase 415v

Just goes to show you are never too old to learn. I've always thought they were telephone lines.

They could be 11Kv or 33Kv according to Wiki but a 'flat' triple cable like that is used to get electricity to farmhouses, telephone wires tend to be one above the other.

Difficult to tell as we can't see where it is going. If it is just going to a farm then it may just be 415V, if it is servicing a village then it could be more. The size of the insulation bushings suggests it isn't 11kV or higher as they just aren't big enough. It is final stage though as there is no earth carrier.

Thanks @summerdays.

Sometimes I try to fit in modding duties before going to work... if so I often forget to leave a message to say I've done an action as I'm in a bit of a rush/mind on two things ... sorry @Spinney
