The Kliment Voroshilov (KV) tanks were a series of Soviet heavy tanks, named after the Soviet defense commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov. The KV series were known for their extremely heavy armour protection during the early war, especially during the first year of the invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II. Almost completely immune to the 3.7 cm KwK 36 and howitzer-like, short barreled 7.5 cm KwK 37 guns mounted respectively on the early Panzer III and Panzer IV tanks, until better guns were developed often the only way to defeat a KV was a point-blank shot to the rear.

Voltage of a cable is 220 kv what does this mean?

The lower-case 'k' in 'kV' (not 'kv') is a multiplier, representing 'kilo', meaning 'a thousand times', and the upper-case 'V' represents 'volts', the SI unit for potential difference. So a '220-kV' cable has a line voltage (voltage between conductors) of 220 kV.


Why differential relay is not used for 11kv transformers?
