According to the "map features" the tag power=line may be completed by a tag "wires=single|double|triple|quad". I have some doubts about the meaning of "wires" in this case. "Map features" say about the "wires" tag:
> Number of wires per power cable. "single" (1), "double" (2), "triple" (3) > or "quad" (4). The number of cables may be specified using power=cables. Obviously "power=cables" is a mistake; it should probably be "cables=[number]". Please could some native speakers tell me whether this interpretation is correct: A "power line" is a set of cables hanging between "power towers"; each cable may consist of one or more wires. Thus a German 110 kV line named "0802" with 6 cables [plus one neutral conductor?], each consisting of a single wire, may be tagged as: power=line cables=6 wires=single ref=0802 Because of the scarce documentation of "power=cables" some people started to tag e.g. "wires=6*single". I think this should be changed to cable=6, wires=single. Am I right?
