By electrostatic moving iron type voltmeter, you can measure upto about 200kV directly.

Answer">Answer

In substations, high voltages, such as 11 kV, are measured using a relatively small step-down voltage transformer (UK terminology) or potential transformer (US terminology).

The secondary voltage of a voltage transformer is typically standardised at 110 V, which then matches the full-scale deflection of the voltmeter to which it is connected. So a typical transformation ration would be 11 kV/110 V, 33 kV/110 V, 132 kV/110 V, etc.

Voltage Transformers, together with current transformers, are classified as 'instrument transformers', whose outputs are used for measurements or for driving protective relays. They also have the important function of being able to electrically isolate their secondary (measurement) circuit from their high-voltage primary circuit.

What instrument you use to measure 11kv?

A digital voltmeter with a range up to 11kV would be suitable for measuring a voltage of 11kV. Ensure the voltmeter is rated for the high voltage to be measured and follow safety protocols when working with high voltage systems.


How can measure the voltage only seeing the insulators in a high voltage transmission lines?

i think 11kv per insulator


Why is high voltage from 11kv onwards?

To be precise this kind of hi voltage is called distribution by power company. 11kv 16 kv that type of voltage. however transmission can be in the range of 5ookv. And you can see at tower from interstates lines


How do you calculate voltage regulation of 33kv and 11kv distributions?

Regulation =(Obtained voltage per phase - rated voltage per phase)/rated voltage per phase *100


How is 11kv convert to 230v?

The higher voltage it transformed to a lower voltage by the use of a step down transformer.


Why transmission is done on 11kv and 33kv?

High voltage reduces the amount of energy wasted in transmission lines.


What is the 11kv phase to earth voltage?

6350.8 volts AC rms. The phase to earth voltage is ( square root(3) ) x lower than the phase-phase voltage on a 3 phase system.


What is Indian railway transmission line voltage?

220v, 415v, 6.6 kv, 11kv,33kv,132kv,400kv


Can 11kv breaker be installed on 6.6kv line?

Yes. But,circuit breaker are usually rated in terms of current they can interrupt,not the voltage.


How do you test the 11KV HT cables?

The test equipment used to test high voltage cables is a hi-pot test where a high DC voltage is a applied to the cable. This voltage can be from 150% to 200% of the working voltage of the cable.See related links below.


What is the voltage coming out of a station?

Depends on the sub station. It could be 11KV, 33KV, 66KV,110KV, 220KV, 400 KV etc


Why the generating stations produce 11kv voltage and it step up to 33kv during transmission.. why we should not use 230volts to generated and can step up to 11kv.. why?

if we take 11kv /33kv yhe current produced will be less when compared to 230v/11kv.. the curent produced will be gerater than 1000amp or above so the winding of the transformers will damage because thier is no winding at present to with stand the huge amount of current by K.B.N.GANGADHAR sasi institute of technology and engineering
