All the high voltage stuff I've done has been underground to pad mounted transformers. It's been 30 years since I was out in The Marshall Islands running high voltage power. We used 15kv rated cable even though the system was 4160. The largest island was only 2.5 miles long and it was all coral we had to dig up to lay our 4" PVC conduit. I don't remember how many conduits we laid in the trenches but we added extra empty 4" PVC for future expansion. I think one of the digging crews found the body of a Japanese soldier from the time the Japanese military were on the island during WWII. There was quite a battle there when American forces took the island. There is a lot of history to see at the Kwajalein Atoll. Every time a crew started digging, they found some of it. ヽ(ヅ)ノ [8~{} Uncle Sea Monster |

The State of Alabama where I live has an area of 52,419 square miles and a population of less than 5 million. When I lived on the family farm, the closest neighbor was a quarter mile away. We had our own pole mounted transformer for the farm. In the big cities there are transformer vaults under the streets with very large transformers and the large buildings have their own transformers in the basement utility areas. I don't know about skyscrapers in the very large cities but I'd imagine there are transformers for every floor or every several floors. I'd have to do some research on the design of their power distribution systems to educate myself. We hear a 60hz buzz in our heads where you folks have a 50hz buzz between your ears. You can't compare our two countries and our power distribution systems because everything is too different but we do kind of speak the same language and many of us are your cousins. ヽ(ヅ)ノ [8~{} Uncle Related Monster |

During a recent* power outage, I used a squirt bottle full of water with a battery-operated fan on it. * - "recent" was more than 2 years ago. it was "now" when it happened. I have been known to stand naked in my garden using a hose. I was naked in the yard last night using the hose god gave me, trying to get the dog to get with the program. You tried to encourage your dog to pee by doing so yourself? I wonder what was going through the dog's mind. Envy -- Tekkie |

I don't know about skyscrapers in the very large cities but I'd imagine there are transformers for every floor or every several floors. I'd have to do some research on the design of their power distribution systems to educate myself. We hear a 60hz buzz in our heads where you folks have a 50hz buzz between your ears. They should have made it something like 15Hz so we can't hear it. Once I went to see a movie called "Battlestar Galactica" because they wore showing it in something called "Sensurround" and I wanted to find out what that was. It's infrasonics, sound you can't hear because of the low frequency but with enough power you feel it. Also, 15Hz transformers would need to be bigger.
