Regards any support where a Branch line (601-02-10) coming from a different direction connects to a continuous main line on a support or on a junction box underground.
It includes situations where a branch underground cable connects to the main overhead circuit with location:transition=yes help (and vice versa) or loops connecting two or more power systems coming from the same direction.

This value can't be combined with itself and cross to describe several situations on the same support level.

Possible mistakes

Only branch supports combined with branch:type=tap should be carefully replaced by line_management=branch.

Examples

Power

Photo Location Tagging Note
French 400kV tower hanging insulators.jpg France

power=tower
line_attachment=anchor
line_management=branch
line_arrangement=horizontal

A side line connects to the main one (the presence of hanging insulator in the red circle doesn't affect this line management situation)
Power pole branch cross.jpg France

power=pole
line_attachment=(suspension)|(anchor)
line_management=branch

Two lines cross on a concrete pole with a connection between them two. Then it's a branch
Underground power junction Austria

line_management=branch

A side cable, probably a private customer connection, connects to a main underground cable in a junction box.


There is no reviewed power=* value for them, so currently it will only get a single line_management=*.
