Hi, The main difference is Fuel consumption. High current genertors always consumes much fuel because the load on the engine will be high. The high voltage low current generators doesn't need much fuel to run. You can understand this by comparing 1 kva and 5 kva single phase generators. For both generators voltage will be same (230v) But output current differs. So the fuel consumption also differs. But you get a high current source. Low voltage high current generators can be used for welding kind of stuffs which needs high current to do the job. If you have step down transformer then you can save the fuel.

What are the differences between high and low voltage in electrical systems?

High voltage and low voltage in electrical systems refer to the amount of electrical potential difference present. High voltage systems have a greater potential difference, typically above 1000 volts, and are used for long-distance power transmission and industrial applications. Low voltage systems have a lower potential difference, typically below 1000 volts, and are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings for lighting, appliances, and electronics. The main differences lie in the safety precautions, equipment requirements, and applications of each voltage level.

What is the difference between switchgear and switch yard?

we use switchgear for low voltage while switchyard is use for highvoltage transmission and distribution . There is an other factor known as insulation because for low voltage we should low insulation and for high voltage we need higher insulation.Cost is another factor between both.

What is the difference between high and low current?

The difference between low voltage and high voltage for the same size cable is that cable size affects current carrying capacity, while power is voltage times current. As a result, the same size cable can transfer more power at high voltage than at low voltage. This is why utility power transmission and distribution systems use high voltage. A typical transmission voltage in the US might be 69 kv, 138 kv, even 345 kv, and a typical distribution voltage in the US might by 13.2 kv.
