Russian term or phrase: усиливающие провода
Питающим и отсасывающим линиям, УСИЛИВАЮЩИМ и экранирующим проводам на опорах контактной сети и на самостоятельных опорах...
...У контактных подвесок с экранирующими и усиливающими проводами допустимый ток увеличивается на 20%...
...Выборочное диагностирование на нагрев токоведущих зажимов и контактов разъединителей контактной подвески, питающих и УСИЛИВАЮЩХ проводов на участках

Is this simply 'reinforcing wire' or are we talking about a 'booster wire' perhaps? Or perhaps I am wrong on both counts!

Thanks for any ideas

disagree  Andrei B: "booster wires" as increasing current-carrying capacity can be found in antenna-related texts, but not in any railroad-related document from an English-speaking country (except for very few Swedish and Norwegian documents)

the auxiliaries


Explanation:
When overhead line systems were first conceived, good current collection was not possible at high speed using a single supporting wire. Two additional types of equipment were developed to combat this problem. Stitched equipment used an additional wire at each support structure, which was terminated either side to the messenger wire. Compound equipment used a second support wire, known as the auxiliary, running the whole length of the overhead line between the messenger wire and the contact wire.

guys OR guy wires


Explanation:
Definition from the first weblink (IEEE Disctionary of OCS):
Guy = steadying or positioning wire, or span wire
Various types are also defined in that document (head guy, down guy, etc)
The first example is the caption to Fig. 7-15 in the second weblinked document; the second one can also be found therein

After carefully reading your context again, I find усиливающие провода more likely to be current-carrying than reinforcing ones.
If the former is the case, then "the auxiliaries" as defined in my first reference and suggested by rns should be the correct choice; otherwise, I stick with mine

Example sentence(s):
  • fiberglass stick insulators at the pole produce a clean span using steel guy wire
  • Pole guying is an acceptable means of handling heavy radial loads only where the guy can be installed without interfering with sidewalk use or encroaching on private property

disagree  rns: "guy OR guy wire" is not overhead — http://goo.gl/12KW / Edit: I see. You'd hide this answer and enter "span guy" as your new answer. I'd dare not to disagree.:) / Edit: I strongly disagree with "guy wire" and your answer contains no "span guy", sorry.

  -> head guy = between pole tops for transferring an anchor load; span guy = between poles for supporting an OCS; what you call guy wire is down/back guy. All these are from the IEEE document above// You'd remove your "disagree" and let Asker sort stuff out
