1-he .Anzhero-Sudzhensk major transformer
and switching substation (Figure 2) is located
south of the Thr,ans-Siherian Railwav and about
3 nautical miles (nm) east of :\nzherskava rail-
road station, which is in the southern portion of
the :Anrhero Sudzhensk urban complex. .\ power
line trace, with many supports identified, has
now been confirmed between this substation and
a probable transformer and switching substation
in the northeastern outskirts of the city of I'nmsk
(Figure 3). File trace is approximately 201)
feet wide and the interval between supports
averages about 1,250 feet, indicating that 220-kv
power is being or will be transmitted between
\nzhero-Sudzhensk and Tomsk. The supports
appear to he steel lattice towers, probably for
carrying two three-phase 220-kv circuits. I he
form of the supports is indicated h%, the shado'.v
of an angle support near the .\nzhero-Sudzhensk
substation. Available photography does not per-
mit a positive determination as to whether con-
ductors for one or twocircuits have been strung,.
:\ peculiarity of the trace for this power
line is the way in which it changes direction.
Normally, trace tangents meet at an angle, where
conductors are anchored at a heavily braced
angle support. The Anzhero-Sudzhensk 'Tomsk
trace, however, changes direction using an arc
of long radius, which requires several braced
supports. Consequently, the trace has more of
a superhighway's alignment than that of in
electric power line (Figure 1).
Anzhero-Sudzhensk Substation
this substation, located at 56-04
is in in I,-shaped secured area and consists
of a 220-kv switching yard \), including two
transformers, in the larger southeast section; a
110-kv switching yard 13) in the smaller west
section; and alnw?-voIt.a,;cX35or h-10kv)s'.vitch-
in g yard in the northeast corner (Figure 2).
Terminal supports for 220-kv circuits can be
seen clearly outside the southern tide of the
220-kv switching yard.
Probable Substation at the City of Tomsk
.A large .secured area at 5(-31N 155-011: in
the northeastern outskirts of the city of Tomsk
is probably the site of the northwest terminus of
the .\nzhero-Su lzhrnsk omsk 220-kv power
line i Figure 3) 1
covering the site, however, are somewhat ob-
scured by haze or smoke, which prevents de-
tailed analysis. F he area apparently contains
three switching yards, for 220-kv A), 110-kv
13), and low-voltage, probably 35-kv C;) power
respectively; and pnssihly one hank of three
single-phase step-down transformers, which
may have three windings. I here is no evidence
either at the city of hnmsk or at the Tomsk
Atomic Fncrgv Complex that any 220-kv power
lines existed between these two places in

is normal Soviet practice for a two-cite' a

railroad, it can tk .ass,:mr d that twosuc h circuits
