Alternator output voltages are typically restricted to around 25 kV to limit their physical size and the centrifugal forces to which they are subjected. In the UK, this voltage is then typically raised to 400 kV for transmission.

The voltages to which you are referring to are typical of the voltages used in the UK's high-voltage distribution system. 'Grid' substations typically transform transmission voltages of 132 kV down to 33 kV (or, less commonly, 66 kV), and 'primary' substations then transform distribution voltages of 33 kV down to 11 kV.

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.


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

i think 11kv per insulator


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.


Why 22kv 11kv 33kv 132kv 220 kv are standard transmission voltages in transmission lines why not 20kv 10kv etc?

Its just a matter of standard. In my area, for instance, we use 13.2 KV for distribution lines, and 69 KV / 138 KV for 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
