If you want 415 volts, and you are getting 33,000 volts something is horribly wrong.
Voltage is stepped up / stepped down for transmission to "load centers" (you) because of the "I^2 R" losses. Power = current squared times the resistance. The resistance of the conductor that is carrying your power is finite and cannot be made to be zero (unless you're using superconductors), so to minimize power loss incurred by transmission to you, the current must be decreased. This is accomplished by stepping the voltage up to a higher value (since power = voltage / current, the same power at a higher voltage can be delivered with a smaller current, thus less transmission loss).
Voltage and current are stepped up/down using Transformers.
I hope this covers your question.
What else can I help you with?
What is Indian railway transmission line voltage?
220v, 415v, 6.6 kv, 11kv,33kv,132kv,400kv
What is the base mva of 33Kv?
750MVA to 1000MVA for 33kV and 350MVA for 11kV
Where can use voltage of 415v 11kv 66kv 33kv and 132kv?
These are the nominal voltages used by the UK's distribution system, although (to comply with European Harmonisation requirements, 415 V has now been 'replaced' with 400 V. Incidentally, the symbol for the volt is a capital 'V', not a lower-case 'v'.
Why transmission line voltage is like 6.6kv 11kv22kv 33kv etc?
Usage of such high voltages will increase the efficiency of the transmission lines and decreases the losses in the line. It also reduces the requirement of conductor size.
Can you use a 415v motor in a 240 v socket?
No you can't use a 415v motor in a 240 v socket.
What is the highest generating capacity in India?
33kv
Explain the transmission and distribution of electricity from the generation station to the consumer?
transmission and distribution of electricity are the way of regulate voltage to the minimum rate in which can be benefit to the consumers. From generating station , voltage generated is up 16/25kv which step up upto 330kv this generating voltage now step down in the transmission station through the step down transformer which is 132kv this voltage now transmitting to distribution station where voltage now step down to 33kv, this 33kv now stepdown to 415v for three line and 240/220v for a line for the uses of consumers.
What is the acceptable value of contact resistance in 415V air circuit breaker?
415v air circuit breaker acceptable value of 0.01 ohms and lessthan
What is the difarants 480v and 415v?
The primary difference between 480V and 415V lies in their voltage levels and regional usage. 480V is commonly used in North America for industrial applications, while 415V is more prevalent in countries that follow the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standards, such as those in Europe and Australia. Both voltages are used for three-phase power systems, but they may require different equipment and configurations depending on the local electrical standards. Additionally, the choice between the two can impact motor performance, efficiency, and compatibility with existing systems.
What are the effects of being at end of 33KV transmission line?
The effects of being at the end of a 33KV transmission line will result in a higher voltage. This is due to variation in the perameters that dictate how the transmission is sent and received.
If a 6.6KV Motor run at 415V then what happen to its current and RPM?
Current shall increase while you apply 415V for operating it and will decrease the rpm to a much low level.
Can a 415v 50hz motor run on 380v 50hz?
no
