In the Typical sense its anything 50 volts or below. When speaking of service voltages its 600 volts or below. The threshold of 50 volts is believed to be the point where skin will resist shock so a lessor hazard is encountered. Type your answer here...
False. The primary job of the distributor is to transport electricity from the transmission system to the distribution system and then deliver it to end users at lower voltages. The conversion of voltage levels is typically done by transformers at substations, not by the distributor.
An intermediary voltage between high voltage and low voltage. I previously wrote 69kV and 34.5kV were distribution level voltages. This is not true, these are generally considered "sub Transmission" level. Anything below ~ 33kV and above ~1kV is considered distribution. Common voltages of this range I've seen are 2.4kV, 12.5kV, 13.8kV.
A transmission transformer steps the voltage up to a very high value so electricity can travel long distances on transmission lines from the power plant to a city or area with low loss. A distribution transformer steps the high voltage back down to a level that can be used for local distribution and use by businesses and homes.
No, an 18 watt bulb typically requires a higher voltage than what is used in low voltage outdoor lighting systems. Using a higher wattage bulb in a low voltage system can cause damage to the bulb and the lighting system. It is recommended to use bulbs specifically designed for low voltage outdoor lighting.
If you mean a dual voltage motor 120/240 then yes these will operate on a 240 volt home distribution system.
A 'service mains' is not associated with an electricity 'transmission' system, but with a low-voltage 'distribution' system. The service mains is the name given to the cable that connects a building to the low-voltage mains supply.
There are three main categories of low voltage. It depends on what type of system the voltage belongs to, as each system has a bottom end or low voltage assigned to it.
LT is Low Tension - it means Low voltage. generally up to 440 Volts system is known as low voltage system
low voltage problem may arise due to unbalancing of distribution transformer in your area. please ask your electricity provider to balance load on distribution transformer.
A '33-kV transformer' is a three-phase primary-distribution transformer, used in the UK's electricity system to step down the 33-kV primary-distribution voltage to the 11-kV secondary-distribution voltage -the lowest voltage used in the high-voltage distribution system. These transformers are categorised as 'power transformers', and are located in what are termed 'primary substations'.

33 kV (not 'kv'!) is the standard primary-distribution voltage used in the UK's electricity supply system. Low voltage (400/230 V -not 440 V) is normally provided by transformers supplied from the 11-kV system, not the 33-kV system.
They can be. The benefit of an auto transformer is it can be made smaller than a traditional transformer and have the same power rating - this is because some of the power in an auto is transferred via conduction, while in a traditional transformer all power is transferred via induction.If the voltage ratio between High / low voltage is much above ~3, this size savings is lost. The highest ratio I've seen in an auto is 3.33. Many distribution transformers convert voltage from 30-70kV to 2.4-13.8kV, so for many cases you will end up with a ratio in the 4-10 range, although I have seen some as low as 2.5.Another AnswerAutotransformers are not used in the secondarydistribution system -i.e. they are not used to step down a high-voltage distribution voltage to a low-voltage distribution voltage- for two reasons.Firstly, they do not provide electrical isolation between the high- and low-voltage systems. This is essential, for reasons of safety.Secondly, should a break occur in the low-voltage part of the winding, the whole of the primary voltage will be applied to the load.For this reason, autotransformers are restricted to transmission and (in some cases) primary distribution systems -i.e. they are used as power transformers, rather than as distribution transformers.
First of all, the correct term is 'line to line', not'phase to phase'. The line to line voltage is called a line voltage, and its value depends on the electrical standards in your country, and the point in the electrical tranmission/distribution system where it is measured. In the UK, for example, its value could be between 400 kV (high-voltage transmission line) and 400 V (low-voltage distribution line).
