As already mentioned in a previous thread I have been drafting a
definition for a new "circuits" key describing the number of electrical
circuits of a power line or cable connection. See the feature page at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:circuits
The new key is mainly intended for underground cable connections
(power=cable) where the number of cables is unknown or has no fixed
relationship with the number of electrical circuits.
I have now added this key to the power template expecting nobody will
have major objections to this additional key. The circuits key will not
affect current tagging practice. It will however allow mappers to add an
important extra information to power lines and cables, an information
that it is not always possible to deduce from the existing cables=* tag.
The circuits=* key is now visible in
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power and map features.
