Overhead line crossing Suez Canal

The overhead line crossing Suez Canal was built in 1999 and is designed for 2 circuits of 500kV. Because the required clearance over the Suez Canal is 152 metres, the overhead line has 226 metre high pylons on either side of the crossing. The pylons each have 4 crossarms, 3 for the conductors and one for catching the conductors in case of an insulator string failure.
