The design, construction, and testing of a 1.3 mile long 1200 kV prototype line for electrical testing and a 1.1 mile long 1200 kV line for mechanical testing are described. The preliminary results show that the transmission facilities perform satisfactorily with no adverse environmental effects, and that 1200 kV transmission is likely to cost less than 550 kV transmission for loadings above 6000 MW.
