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.

Proof by assertion?

11KV round here. Underground. Watched em put in in

I can find no mention of 3.3KV grid ANYWHERE at all.

It's used primarily for motors and as an intermediate voltage in power
stations. Never for any distance transmission.

i.e. NOT as part of the grid.
