VELCO is considering reducing pole heights by reducing the spacing between conductors and reducing the lightning shield angle. Issues such as insulation level (BIL), flashover distance, icing, lightning, shield angle affect the reliability of the line. Even the most aggressive reduction in spacing would only provide a one (1) foot benefit.
