Spanish term or phrase: pendolones
Contract about building a substation in Spain to feed power from solar farms into the grid. "Pendolones" are mentioned just once, in this context:
Se define como “Punto Frontera” entre las instalaciones de XXX y las de ZZZ al punto de engrape al pórtico proyectado ubicado dentro de la subestación, así como las piezas de conexión de los pendolones de bajada de línea al seccionador.
It's not "king post", and I don't believe a "pendolón" here is the same as in an electrical railway. Any informed suggestions are greatly appreciated. Even a picture would help.

hangers


Explanation:
I.e. something from which things hang.
My notoriously dodgy Beigbder-Atienza Technical dictionary gives several suggestions:
Pendolón: hangar / hanging tie/ king-piece / crown post / kingpost / joggle post
Pendolón (arquitectura): truss post
Pendolón (cerchas): antisag bar / suspension rod / broach-post / pointal
Pendolón (cerchas de madera): joggle-piece

NB: That first "hangar" is a typo, I meant "hanger".
It's a paper dictionary, so I couldn't copy and paste the definitions...
