large cotton reels in substation??

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

  • Interesting that they have been put some distance away from the main busbars.  Must have cost quite a bit in concrete alone.
