Powering the Shard

Afternoon one & all


I know we have single and three phase power, single mainly for domestic and three phase for commercial and small industrial.  But what sort of supply would The Shard have, does it have several 3 phase supplies or does it have an even higher supply that is then lowered via step down transformers to supply the various floors etc?

    An interesting question and one to which I had never turned my mind!


    Come to think of it, the fairy light on the top would be a 600 m circuit if the transformer were at ground level. So yes, substations on various floors.
