Where you find wire insulation with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts, these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, insulation on a wire is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire's insulation, as a result of the tests, is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply.

What is insulation co-ordination in high voltage engineering?
To provide optimal insulation to high voltage equipments.
What is rated insulation voltage?
Rated insulation voltage is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the insulation of an electrical device without causing a breakdown or failure. It is a measure of the insulation's ability to withstand high voltage without impacting its performance or safety. The rated insulation voltage is typically specified by the manufacturer and is an important parameter to consider when designing or selecting electrical equipment.
What is withstand voltage?
It is the rated test voltage that will not cause insulation breakdown.
Does a high rating mean lots of insulation or little insulation?
It depends what you mean by a 'high rating'!If you mean a high 'voltage rating' then, yes, you will require thicker insulation. But if you mean a high 'power rating', then, not necessarily, because the voltage can be low, while the current is high.Remember, the thickness of insulation depends on the voltage, while the type of insulation (how it withstands higher temperatures) depends on the current.
What is insulation coordination?

How much voltage can a 20 gauge wire carry?
A 20 gauge wire can typically carry up to around 7-10 amps of current. The voltage it can carry depends on insulation and the specific application, but generally, it can handle voltages up to 300V safely. It is always important to consult with electrical codes and guidelines for specific applications.
Why 5KV voltage is applied to Megger for insulation resistance measurement?
It is a easy voltage to obtain and can check for breakover in the insulation. The voltage is higher then what would be put through most wire and shows any weakness.

Do iron losses depend upon current or voltage?
Voltage.
What is voltage grade of cable?
Voltage Grade of cables specifies the safe voltages which the insulation of the cable can withstand.
What is the optimum insulation resistance for 11kV UGcables when tested by 5000v insulation megger?
High voltage cables with this high an insulation factor are usually given a Hi Pot (High Potential) test and not meggered. The potential has to be higher that the working voltage of the cable to be effective when checking for insulation or connector breakdown.
