Network description
Voltages and frequency
Frequency : 50 Hz
| Network | Voltage | Comments | Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transmission | 500000 | for bulk transmission on Transener network | single-circuit towers |
| Transmission | 400000 | nationwide bulk transmission voltage, on Transnoa network in Noroeste region | single-circuit towers |
| Transmission | 330000 | for bulk transmission on Transpa network in Patagonia | single-circuit towers |
| Transmission | 220000 | all other major power lines usually around Buenos Aires, the Pampa region and Cuyo region | double- or single-circuit towers or poles |
| Transmission | 132000 | used on the regional transmission networks to feed distribution networks | double- or single-circuit towers or poles, or buried cable (such as in denser parts of Greater Buenos Aires) |
| Distribution | 33000 | Principally around Buenos Aires Province | power poles along roads or railways, or buried cable |

Mapping process and community
Mapping success stories
TODO : Success stories are designed to highlight important contributions. Have you significantly improved the cartography of a country (added a new line, a power station, etc.)? Don't be shy, let us know below.
- Example : NAME [DATE YYYY-MM-DD]: My success stories in words.

Use of mapping strategies
TODO : Mapping strategies refer to Power networks/Guidelines#Mapping strategies. They are used for a methodical improvement of the OSM database. Once you have fully applied a strategy in this country, you should add or update your name, the date, the strategy, and a comment below. This way, other users can see whether it is worthwhile to carry out further investigations.
