The team at Openstreetmap-carto (the "standard" map style) recently added rendering for power=cable which are specifically tagged as being overground or overhead (on the ground or on poles).
Most power=cable are high-voltage underground or underwater power cables, but some are insulated cables above-ground. Now it's can be seen that in some places, eg France, power=cable has been used for minor distribution lines (220 volt?) bringing power to individual buildings. Eg 1. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/47.95900/6.80918 2. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/512818816 Perhaps these should be tagged as power=minor_line, but the wiki says these are uninsulated, hence the confusion. And the wiki says "Use power=cable for any voltage"! Should the wiki page for power=minor_line be changed to mention the possibility that these lines may be insulated in some places? Should the power=cable page state that this is only intended for higher-voltage lines? -Joseph
