When cable reference is made about voltage it is the cables insulation factor that comes into play. Cables in North America have common voltage ratings of 300, 600 and 1000 volts. A cable capable of handling 240 volts will have a rating of 300 volts. The ratings of each specific cable is printed on the cable's outer jacket.

Why high voltage transmission is used in case of transmitting electrical power?

Higher voltages allow for lower currents; electric power is measured in watts, which are calculated by volts multiplied by amps. The higher the voltage, the lower the amperage. This is important as a higher amperage requires a thicker cable; compare the cable on a car battery (12 volts at say, 50 amps, equalling 600 watts) to that on a vacuum cleaner (120 volts at 10 amps, or 1200 watts). The vacuum uses more power, but that power is transmitted through thinner wires, because the voltage is higher. It is the same with long-distance power transmission. Thinner wires are less expensive (they are made of aluminum braided over a steel cable for strength) and also weigh less, allowing the poles/pylons to be of lower strength. Also the losses would be reduced in high voltage transmission.
