Re: [Tagging] Power Tower Landuse = ?
"Pylon" would be one common reference to transmission towers in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, but that is not the case of the United States and other parts of the world, where "pylon" means something different, that "tower" is used instead. So, why not call transmission/power towers with "tower", for others to understand. And the presence of a transmission tower in agricultural land is, yes, do not need the change of land use tag. But that will not be the case of fenced-off towers, like what the author of this thread stated. Though fenced transmission towers are rare in my country (as almost all of them do not have ladders or stairs that may be accessed without authorization, that will require a fence or phsical barrier to block access), tagging a transmission tower where a fence or physical barrier at ground level is present with the landuse=industrial (plus a proposed industry= tag) will help indicate a different land use from the surrounding area. --TagaSanPedroAko On Jul 4, 2017 7:18 PM, "Philip Barnes" wrote: On 4 July 2017 11:07:04 BST, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: >2017-07-04 1:56 GMT+02:00 John Willis : > >> it seems like other long-term infrastructure (power towers, >communication >> towers) are suggested to be landuse=industrial. >> >> I really think there should be some kind of subtag then, because not >only >> can you define what and why you are tagging, but it allows presets to >be >> easily created in iD and searched by new taggers. >> >> industrial=power, industrial=communication, etc. >> > > >I agree that a formalization of industrial subtags would be really >desirable.

Re: [Tagging] Multiple transformers
It is quite the same case as like this three pole-mounted transformer bank in the Philippines. ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:0016jfjfEDSA_Taft_Avenue_MRT_Station_LRT_Footbridge_Pasay_Cityfvf_14.jpg ) And for the photo Tristan referred, it is like the one from Wikimedia Commons that I referred, and it is actually a three-phase transformer bank They usually do not look like being independent from each other, and usually, the primary, secondary, or both are connected, and transformer banks are used to supply three-phase power where single-phase transformers are primarily used, like in the United States, Canada, the Philippines, Japan, and South Korea, and those countries primarily use single-phase distribution, either two-wire or three-wire. And three-phase systems are usually for large customers. Two, three, or more transformers on one pole used to supply single-phase and independent of each other, however, is somewhat difficult to map. Mapping each transformer in a transformer bank may be appropriate for the larger ones used in substations, usually for extra high voltages (345 kV, 380 kV, 400 kV, 500 kV, 735 kV, 750 kV, 765 kV) and AC-DC conversion in HVDC converter stations, but it is not appropriate for a pole-mounted bank. For those mounted on poles, I came up with using the transformer_bank= tag instead, yet, that still needs to be approved. You may include it in your proposal on transformers, if possible.

There are some changes made before starting voting, like raising the highest voltage of power lines that can use poles as supports from 150,000 volts (150 kV) or 161,000 volts (161 kV), replacing street_lamp=yes with the existing highway=street_lamp tag to be used instead, and changing the "pole" key to "pole:type" to be parallel with "tower:type".

Re: [Tagging] Starbucks or Starbucks Coffee
Why long names appear on Starbucks stores in Japan when seen on Google Maps is that the data there is from a third-party map provider, i.e. ZENRIN. Google discourages such locators as messy, like what you stated, and descriptive, but they kept the data from ZENRIN as they are on the original, though the map data may conflict with Google Maps POI naming guidelines. Apple Maps seem to use ZENRIN map data for Japan, but they cleaned up chain store POI names, shortening them to the brand name only . That will be good practice on mapping, to better use the short name or brand of a chain of stores instead of the long name, that the companies use. Going back to the problem with mapping Starbuck stores in OpenStreetMap, I agree, and the point here is selecting the name on a case-by-case basis, that is, choosing between the name on the signage or the name used by most people. Starbucks stores may mostly use "Starbucks Coffee" on outdoor signage, but people will rather call it "Starbucks", and the prevailing local/colloquial name will be more preferred, if people will search the map using the prevailing local term. "official_name" will be mostly the legal name of the store owner or the legal name of the operator/franchisee, but I am not certain if long names including store locators may fit. And the wiki documentation does not explicitly state where "official_name" applies, so, discussing what names can be tagged with that tag may be necessary, but on a new thread at the tagging email list, as that is off topic. "brand" will be the brand the store owner uses, and it may overlap with the name, if that is the name used on signs also.

That is what it says it he name of the store is on their store locator, and that naming information gets passed down to the search and mapping sites. https://www.starbucks.co.jp/store/search/detail.php?id=1034 "パワーモール前橋みなみ店" => "Power Mall Maebashi Minami [location]" I usually put that into "official_name:en=" and put "Starbucks" into the name:en=field. But I do know there is also the "brand" tag to help deal with places (like chains) that are signed the same. Perhaps the answer lies in that combination - but I am unsure of how it works. Apple Maps uses short "brand" names and sticks with "Starbucks", while Google Maps lists out the gigantic names for every single shop, so Japanese Google Maps POI pins at a mall are super-messy and unreadable.

No general rule regarding this. No relations are currently setup in my example but we'll need to. Distribution lines tend to have that complicated connections than the main transmission lines, as in the case you used, that is a distribution line branching out from its main circuit via a tap connection. And tapping is very common on distribution systems, and ways to isolate the branch in case of power line issues on the main line where the branch is connected is through mechancal switches or fuse cutouts. Switches will see use on a power line segment connected to another circuit in a distribution system with a radial configuration, but may also appear on higher voltage lines, where they are opened to isolate loads from the main line in case of faults or line repairs. Fuse cutouts are rather limited to distribution systems, and are used to isolate a power line segment from the main line in cases of overcurrent or long voltage spikes, but will not isolate a power line during line repair, unless linemen open them using insulated sticks. Indicating switches or fuse cutouts on a distribution circuit may be useful on power route relations, when assuming that power distributors use the data to locate portions of the circuits having faults, or loads temporarily disconnected for line repairs. > and the relation would merely be use for group tagging.

And while it may occur on distribution systems whose primary lines run in the open countryside instead on the roads, like those in Europe, they are the same on countries where such systems have the primary lines run beside roads or railways, like those in the Americas and most of Asia, but on an urban area, these will usually be found on tunnels accessible via manholes. And finding underground power lines are difficult, unless markers (like manholes or signage) or knowledge from working as a lineman wil help you find their routes. But, it's still fine to add underground or underwater power cables on a power route relation, especially when assuming that utilities or transmission system operators will use the data on the relation to find the specific circuit or line where a line or cable needs repair. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Power pole extension
Okay, okay, RMS and peak are not the same. Now, move on to the main topic, power poles. Well, what is called a power pole here in OSM is primarily a wood, concrete, or steel pole, usually with a cross-arm. But looking deeper in the real world, power poles have more designs aside from the usual design with one cross-arm supported by brackets, especially when giving regard to lines beside roads (as it seems that OSM has its power distribution infrastructure focused on lines in dedicated right-of-way, which is primarily found in Europe, but distribution lines is primarily found beside roads in most of Asia, Oceania, and the Americas). There are poles with two or more cross-arms supporting multiple circuits, poles with no cross-arm (insulators are on the pole itself), and poles holding high voltage lines (usually called subtransmission lines, common in North America, Australia, and some Asian countries, like the Philippines and Thailand). And do you agree that poles has other designs aside from the usual design composed of the pole and cross-arm, if you will refer to personal knowledge of power lines? And for the design names ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_pole_extension), is it better to base them on the existing design values at the power tower page (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power=tower#Tower_designs), with additional tags, like "armless_asymmetric" and "armless_triangle", variants of the asymmetric and triangle designs, which is used to refer to those used with cross-arms, but for the cases mentioned, these have the insulators placed on the pole instead on cross-arms? And, do the "flag" design all right to use on a pole with no cross-arms and the insulators placed on one side of the pole, just like the same description of the same design on a power=tower?

Eldredge wrote: The RMS voltage of an alternating-current electrical source is the direct-current voltage that would supply the same power into a resistive load. That is to say, imagine you have an AC power source operating a heating element, and a DC power source operating an identical heating element. The DC connection powers the heating element continuously. The AC signal starts at zero volts, increases to a peak, then decreases back to zero. Then it does that again, to a negative voltage (the electrons flow in the opposite direction). The heating element doesn't care which direction the electrons are flowing; both directions produce the same amount of heat. If the net heat production from the AC-powered heating element is the same as the net heat production from the DC-powered element, then the Root Mean Square voltage of the AC power source is the same as the constant DC voltage from the DC power source. Off topic warning. Johns definition above is correct .. These are fundamental to any electrical person. The AC voltage can be stated in various ways .. where the statement of voltage does not include rms, peak or peak to peak most people would take the statement as being rms. >From a simple maths viewpoint: The relationship of RMS (route mean squared), peak and peak to peak are very well defined mathematically for a pure sine wave; peak to peak = peak x 2 RMS = peak x 0.707 (or the reciprocal of the square route of two, if you need more digits) Thus 220 v RMS will be 311 v peak and 622 v peak to peak. 220 v RMS single phase voltage system resolves into a 3 phase system of 381 v RMS, as the 220 v is from one line to neutral, where as the 3 phase voltage is from one line to the other. Again there is a simple mathematical vector relationship between the single phase and the 3 phase voltages.

Households use single-phase, either two-wire (220 volts) or three-wire systems (220/440 volts, though electricity meters show "240 volts", which is within the tolerance of 220 volts, the peak voltage of one phase wire of the system Errr most places this is the RMS voltage, not the peak voltage. The 240 220 230 volts conflicts have been discussed for many years at an international level. Now they agree that their present tolerances encompass an agreed range ... that encompasses all those voltages. Possibly you think the peak voltage is the line-line voltage, right, while RMS voltage is line-neutral voltage. Is that correct? Meters seem to have varying ways on showing the rated voltages the meter measures, that they may only show RMS voltage or peak-to-peak voltage, or both. On countries using single-phase or split-phase distribution (most of the Americas, and some Asian countries), either the RMS or peak-to-peak are shown on the meter's rated voltage, while on countries primarily using three-phase distribution (usually 230/400 volts), the meter shows only RMS voltage for an ordinary single-phase customer, but on others requiring three-phase for other applications, the meter shows both RMS and peak-to-peak. And on my mapping work on Philippine power networks, with the RMS voltage being 220 volts, a single-phase transformer may have a single-phase (line-neutral) or split-phase (line-neutral-line) secondary. For a single-phase transformer with a single phase secondary, common used by provincial electric cooperatives, I use the RMS voltage of 220 as default, but for a split-phase one, usually in areas served by private utilities, it defaults to 440 volts (peak-to-peak), though the meter used for measuring is rated by the RMS voltage of 220 volts (240 volts on the meter's labels, fortunately, it is within the tolerance of 220-240 volts) And on voltage tolerances, 220 volts is within tolerance of the 220-240 volt range, so does 110 or 120 volts being within the tolerance of the 100-127 volt range. ), depending on location. The two-wire system is common on the province usually served by electric cooperatives, but the three-wire system is used on areas served by major private electric utilities (Meralco, Visayas Electric Company/VECO, Davao Light, Cotabato Light and Power, etc.) Traction power in the Philippines (for the Metro Manila transit systems only), is rather DC only, fed from the three-phase distribution systems, transformed to the traction voltage, then rectified to DC. No AC traction systems still exists in the Philippines, but perhaps, may be used in the future on new lines or mainline electrification. > A few houses may get 2 phases if their load is very large .. but it is > unusual and a safety concern, no single room should have more than one > phase. > Even fewer houses get 3 phase .. usually where the workshop has a > requirement for a 3 phase motor/furnace. > +1 same here, 3-phases fed households t

Households use single-phase, either two-wire (220 volts) or three-wire systems (220/440 volts, though electricity meters show "240 volts", which is within the tolerance of 220 volts, the peak voltage of one phase wire of the system), depending on location. The two-wire system is common on the province usually served by electric cooperatives, but the three-wire system is used on areas served by major private electric utilities (Meralco, Visayas Electric Company/VECO, Davao Light, Cotabato Light and Power, etc.) Traction power in the Philippines (for the Metro Manila transit systems only), is rather DC only, fed from the three-phase distribution systems, transformed to the traction voltage, then rectified to DC. No AC traction systems still exists in the Philippines, but perhaps, may be used in the future on new lines or mainline electrification. > A few houses may get 2 phases if their load is very large .. but it is > unusual and a safety concern, no single room should have more than one > phase. > Even fewer houses get 3 phase .. usually where the workshop has a > requirement for a 3 phase motor/furnace. > +1 same here, 3-phases fed households tend to disapear while current usage is single phase + neutral pole. I concur. Single-phase (line-neutral) or split-phase (line-neutral-line) is the primary household distribution systems, while a household customer on an area primarily using single-phase, but requiring three-phase needs a separate transformer, at least the line has the phases required, otherwise, the customer would require the nearby distribution line to have the additional wires and the dedicated transformer, or use a phase converter. Single-phase supplies by households may be derived from a three-phase line, but a single-phase line may do. The single-phase transformers may have one or two primaries (though one bushing is connected to ground instead on another phase wire and serves as a surge arrestor, like the case of transformers used to provide 220 volt single-phase power in most provinces of the Philippines), but the secondaries may be single-phase (line-neutral) or split-phase (line-neutral-line). Single-phase (line-neutral) may use a transformer with one or two bushings (the latter has the second bushing being a surge arrestor, being connected to ground instead on another primary), but for split-phase (line-neutral-line), the transformer may have one or two primary bushings, but on the case of two bushings, the second one may be connected to another phase or ground. > Transformers will have an input voltage and an output voltage, usually > these voltages are different. > Sure, currently voltage=* expects a list with upper voltage;lower voltage. Or voltage-up and voltage-down can be used. I'm in favor of voltage:primary + voltage:secondary (+ voltage:tertiary if transformer got more than 2 interfaces).

If lines/circuits are operated at different voltages, which one will serve the transformer(s) exactly ? Furthermore, even if a single line is supported by the pole, which side of the transformer is connected to it ? I'm thinking of a pole carrying a "low voltage" line used for distribution, hosting a transformer at the top of it and the transformer gets its power from an underground "high voltage" cable rising up on the pole itself. Then you'll need to know the voltages of both cable and line AND the voltages of transformer's sides to say the overhead "low voltage" line is fed wheter by the primary or
[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Power pole extension
This is the second RFC I sent the proposal for an extended tagging of power poles. I sent a previous RFC, but with no comments requested. The goal of the power pole extension proposal is to extend the tagging of power poles, which has limited tags and allow the use of power=pole on power=line with a voltage of at most 138,000 volts (where very tall poles above the mentioned voltage falls on power=tower). Link to proposal at the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Power_pole_extension Any comments requested, as this is the second RFC after the first one did not have any response at all. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
