What is the largest size of wire that you gents have seen on a circuit.The largest Ive seen is two million,funny thing is that one was not very long it fed a neighborhood and an Uncle bens factory......one of those things that makes you wonder why,couldnt have had that much load on it..........anyway......and can you remember what was the longest span that you have seen,I saw one that was about 700 or 800 feet going across a river,but there has to be longer spans than that.

The biggest spans I have seen/worked on were in the heart of the highlands of Scotland.it was a 33kv line and 1span was nearly 1100 ft long! We ended up fixing conductors up on it back in Jan this year, after hurricane bawbag,lucky there was no poles damaged.I have some good Picts so I will get them posted soon
