Hello All,  Mines, Quarry's, Railroads, Heavy Industry, commonly use HV for
in-plant distribution
generally 4 KV to 24 KV when greater than 2500 KVA is req'd.

The Power Co. would have FITS with all of the distortion's introduced back
into their equip. from TC use.

Not to mention the liability.  Plus, even commercially, there really isn't a
need for direct high voltage lines.   Even the highest voltage power
supplies (such as those used in giant lasers, linear accelerations, very
large radar systems, etc....) derive their power from 3-phase low voltage
transformers such a 440 or 480VAC.  Sure the kVA ratings might be up even in
the 1000's, but its still low voltage.
