It can be used for anything with a nominal 12 v requirement. In cars everything runs on a nominal voltage of 12 v but is designed to run on 13.8 v which is the voltage when the car is running.

Where does electricity we use for our homes come from?
It comes from the power company, which uses electric cables to connect your home and neighbouring homes to the nearest power plant. Your home has an upper limit to the amount of power that can be drawn, for example a 240 v supply rated at 100 amps is limited to 24 kilowatts. This is because the cables used have a limit to the current they can carry without getting hot. Although homes have a 240 v supply, known as LV or low-voltage, neighbourhoods are supplied at a higher voltage, 11 kilovolts for example, known as MV or medium voltage. A local transformer converts the voltage down to LV and you probably have one of these within 400 yards of your home. Large groupings of customers are supplied at higher voltages, 33 kV for a small town, 132 kV for a large town and 275 kV or 400 kV for complete regions. The two higher voltages are used for the power grid, by which all generators and customers are interconnected. This gives security of supply so that no home will lose its supply as a result of a serious equipment failure.
What is HT and LT customers in electricity bill?
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.HT and LT means high and low tension.LT customers take their supply at the normal street voltage of 240 volts single-phase or 415 v three-phase.HT customers take their supply at higher voltages, in the UK these are usually 11 kV, 33 kV and 132 kV.
Can you plug a 120 240 volt appliance into a 125 250 volt outlet?
To get the actual household voltage range figures for your locality it is best to ask a local licensed electrician or your local electricity supply company. As long as your appliance has a rating plate, user guide - or has similar information printed on its body - which says it was designed to run on a range of voltages from 120 to 240 volts ac, you can plug it in. In the US, Canada and other countries which use a similar 60 Hz alternating current system, circuits for lighting and low-power appliances run at 120 volts plus or minus 10%, in which case the voltage range could be from 108 Volts to 132 Volts. In countries in Europe and other world areas which use 230 volts 50 Hz alternating current system, circuits for lighting and low-power appliances now run at 230 volts plus 10% or minus 6%. Thus the mains supply voltage will remain within standards even if it varies between an upper limit of 253 volts and a lower limit of 216.2 volts.
How many amps on power lines?
50,000AnswerIt depends upon the function of the power line, and where it is situated. For example, in the UK, transmission lines operate up to 400 kV; distribution lines run up to 132 kV; low-voltage lines run up to 400 V.
Which of these geographic coordinates could be used for longitude?
132 west
What is 132kva gridstation?
132 Kilo Volt Amps (kVA) is the amount of theoretical power being used by the transformer. The transformer takes high voltage from transmission lines and converts it to lower usable voltages. the power of 132 kVA comes from the product of current (I) and voltage (V) going into or coming out of the transformer. The gridstation as a whole takes in a few large power transmission lines, transforms their voltage, and distributes electricity to consumers.

Where in the is the step transformer in the national grid?
Step up transformers are used to boost the voltage up for long distance transmission. At the other end, step down transformer are used to bring the voltage back to a working voltage for distribution to homes and industries
What is a 132 kv substation?
132kV substation is part of transmission and distribution of power in which the transmission voltage is 132kV. The substation is for stepping down or stepping up of the voltages to the required voltage. the substation also serves as a place where the transmission lines can be isolated, controlled and monitored. The substation consists of different equipment that is used to regulate, monitor and distribute the required power.Another AnswerIn the UK, 132 kV voltages are considered to be the lowest transmission voltages. Other transmission voltages are 275 kV and 400 kV. A '132-kV substation' is normally one in which this voltage is stepped down to a primary distribution voltage, usually 33 kV but, sometimes, 66 kV. As the previous answer points out, substations contain transformers, switchgear, busbars, and protection equipment.

What is the definicion of power transformer?
In the electricity supply industry, the term, power transformer, is used to describe transformers that are used in the electricity transmission system (i.e. for the UK, at 400/275/132/33-kV levels), as opposed to distribution transformers that are used in the electricity distribution systems (i.e. for the UK, at 11 kV/400-230 V levels). They vary tremendously in physical size, according to their operating voltages and power ratings -typically expressed in megavolt amperes.
