Abstract
DURING the past 16 years, the Virginia Electric and Power Company has had in service over 600 circuit miles of 115- and 138-kv wood pole H-frame transmission lines with spar-arm construction. Experience with this construction has been so satisfactory that the new 96-mile 230-kv transmission line between the company´s Chesterfield and Possum Point power stations is being built with spar construction for both crossarms and braces. Each end of the line will be tied into the existing 115-kv system through 230/115-kv autotrans-formers and a tap connection will be made at the Lakeside substation north of Richmond.
