The Natural Philosopher explained on 20/03/2017 :
Not only is 3.3kV used in the UK, but 2kV, 3.5kV and 6.6kV are also used.


No. Were used. Once. Not any more.


Were used, suggests were installed. Once installed they are there until
replaced - which rather suggests I was correct in the matter of the
3.3Kv, though wrong in regards to what they installed on wooden poles.


Harry you'd be better off arguing with a three week old dead badger, you'd get a
more coherent and accurate reply on subjects like this than from TNP. 3.3kV
has IME always been an underground voltage in the UK, with indoor switchgear.
