I am afraid I have not explained the answer as I should have (and that the original helped): I understand this to mean that whatever contraption is being discussed, it stands (a) outdoors and (b) it is big and sleek -as defined by its length to width ratio- enough for it to be subject to tensile strains high enough to require bracing with stays (for the structure itself) and that the associated electrical conductors are also long enough as to require consideration for the tensile strains imposed on them.

Better than "tensions": Tensile strains (that would change the heading phrase to

Tensile strains applied to stays and electrical conductors

agree  Neil Ashby: I reckon you're probably right.....(I think you added your note after seeing my first opinion (mis-interpretation of your answer - that was just me being stupid!)?

  -> Right the first -I do not believe the second -I suspect you were overworked and seeing double in the scope due to too long hours before it. I know the situation myself (and, yes, "tensión" in Spanish means [also] voltage).
