The lower-case 'k' in 'kV' (not 'kv') is a multiplier, representing 'kilo', meaning 'a thousand times', and the upper-case 'V' represents 'volts', the SI unit for potential difference. So a '220-kV' cable has a line voltage (voltage between conductors) of 220 kV.

What is meant by 220 KV in 220 KV three phase Power Transmission line?

KV is the abbreviation for kilovolts. The prefix kilo means thousands, so 220 kv means 220 kilovolts, or 220,000 volts.

What is the line voltage of a 230000 kv transmission line?

Transmission and distribution voltages are normally expressed in terms of line voltages, so the answer is that the figure you quote is a line voltage. Incidentally, do you really mean 230 megavolts for a transmission voltage?? And the symbol of kilovolt is 'kV', not 'kv'.


What is the Phase to phase voltage of 66KV earthed cable?

Nominal transmission and distribution voltages are line voltages. So '66 kV' is a line-to-line voltage. Note that there is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' voltage -the correct term is 'line-to-line'. Using the term, 'phase-to-phase', indicates a lack of understanding of a.c., which is not uncommon! Incidentally, the symbol is 'kV', not 'KV'.
