In the UK, 33 kV 3-phase on wooden poles are common. Similar height. And often re-routed underground for new housing or other development.


Typically, the 33 kV then reduced to 11 kV for local distribution to either ground or pole mounted 11 kV to 400/230 volt for houses and commercial use.


(When at sea, on my last few containerships we generated at 6.6 kV with a total capacity of about 10 MW - not that we would have all running at once! This was for cargo refrigeration etc NOT for propulsion, we had a circa 30 MW slow speed diesel for that)
