lost...

I'm glad you picked up on that.

If the stadium was wired like a casino...

Then the Poco would deliver juice via twin Primary Voltage feeders -- at 12 to 21 kV. Whatever Primary was, it would be directly stepped down to 480Y277. That transform is as common as dust.

Adjacent, dry type, transformers would provide 208Y120 current, very much the minor use of electric power.

The trip occurred at a medium voltage/ Primary Voltage level.

(In the Poco world, medium voltages = 2,000 VAC on up through 35,000 VAC. Depending on the grid, voltages throughout that range are popular as Primary Utility Distribution Voltages.

Long distance power is shunted at high voltages 35kV+ -- very high voltages and so on. I don't work that end of the street. Every time I turn around the classification of these voltages changes.

As a general rule: 1,000 VAC per mile of transit. If the Poco has to shunt current a thousand miles -- they'd like to boost it to 1,000,000 VAC -- even VDC.

No wonder 4160 VAC is so popular within major factories -- and RV parks.)
