For a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the resulting load current. So high voltages are essential for electricity transmission, in order to avoid enormous voltage drops, a need for conductors for huge cross-sectional areas, and to reduce line losses. Actual transmission sytem voltages are determined by the electricity-supply standards used in the country in which you live.
India's is 765 kV.
Star (or 'wye') connected alternators have a phase voltage of 6.35 kV, and a line voltage of 11 kV. Incidentally, it's 'kV', not 'KV'.
The voltage of a power plant before the step-up transformer typically ranges from a few kilovolts (kV) to around 25 kV, depending on the type of generation facility and its design. This voltage level is used for local distribution and to connect to the grid. The step-up transformer increases this voltage to higher levels, often between 110 kV and 765 kV, for efficient transmission over long distances.
5 kV ac means 5 kV rms, which represents a peak voltage of 5 x sqrt (2) kV, or 7.07 kV. So the dc test should provide 7070 volts.
All sinusoidal AC voltages are multiples of 1.1. This is due to the form factor, which is the ratio of the quadratic mean value of the voltage with the average voltage, which is pi/2√2=1.1 (approximately). It also provides the most economic means of constructing step up/down transformers.AnswerIn the UK, 33 kV (along with 66 kV) is considered to be a primary distribution voltage level, whereas 11 kV is secondary distribution voltage level. Incidentally, the correct symbol for 'kilovolt' is 'kV', not 'kv'.
India's is 765 kV.
Utility companies typically generate AC power at a voltage level of around 11 kV to 25 kV. This voltage is then stepped up to higher levels, often between 69 kV to 765 kV, for efficient transmission over long distances. Ultimately, the voltage is stepped down again for distribution to homes and businesses, usually to levels of 120/240V or 208/480V, depending on the application.
the highest transmission volatage in India is 765kV ac. The highest voltage in the case of DC transmission is +/- 600 kV.
Star (or 'wye') connected alternators have a phase voltage of 6.35 kV, and a line voltage of 11 kV. Incidentally, it's 'kV', not 'KV'.

Transmission and distribution voltages are normally expressed in terms of line voltages, so the answer is that the figure you quote is a line voltage. Incidentally, do you really mean 230 megavolts for a transmission voltage?? And the symbol of kilovolt is 'kV', not 'kv'.

220 kV
220 volts, 110 volts, 440 volts, 400 volts, AC or DC voltage. High voltage like - 220 KV, 400 KV, etc
34.5, 69, 115, 161, 230, 345, 500kV are all common transmission (and distribution) voltages. They aren't all multiples of 11.Additional CommentI think that the questioner is British because, in the UK, most transmission and distribution voltages are multiples of 11. These are 11 kV, 33 kV, (66 kV*), and 275 kV. The exception is the highest transmission voltage of 400 kV.(*66 kV is less common these days)
The voltage output of a generator is set by design and system requirements. Nothing is special about 13.7 KV. In fact, most generators that I am familiar with in utility power applications are 24 KV, with the voltage being stepped up with a transformer to transmission level voltages.Perhaps the question refers to distribution voltages. One standard is 13.2 KV, with the transmission voltage being 69 KV, 138 KV, or 345 KV. Again, it depends on system requirements.
