Hi guys a couple of weeks ago I was looking on Google maps to try to work out a future planned trip for when lockdown is done anyhow I went onto satellite view which is basically an areal view of wherever your looking at. Part of my search I saw an areal view of our local grid substation at chickerell on the foto there was what looked like very large cotton reels in the sub I was curious what they could be I hink they are very large chokes for voltage balancing there are also some square objects right next to them which I assume are capacitors not sure what voltage they run at but looks like 230/400 Kv does this sound about right? Incidentally I sorted out my rout for my future trip
Hi Typiod yes thats the beasts they are definitely odd looking things I've never seen them from this angle before which sub is this? It looks the same layout as chickerell with the cotton reels positioned away from everything else
