What kind of wire transmit 11Kv power and is this different from those transmitting 415v power?
Insulation level is different between the cables.
Why the generating stations produce 11kv voltage and it step up to 33kv during transmission.. why we should not use 230volts to generated and can step up to 11kv.. why?
if we take 11kv /33kv yhe current produced will be less when compared to 230v/11kv.. the curent produced will be gerater than 1000amp or above so the winding of the transformers will damage because thier is no winding at present to with stand the huge amount of current by K.B.N.GANGADHAR sasi institute of technology and engineering
Why only 11kv is used in power systems transmission line?
It isn't. In the UK, transmission and distribution voltages are 400 kV, 275 kV, 132 kV, 66 kV, 33kV, and 11 kV.
Why the generation voltage is 11kv not 10kv?
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.
Why you are generating ac not dc?
question is wrong....ac is generated in alternator <<>> The most likely reason is that there is no field voltage being generated. This is controlled by the voltage regulator. Check to see if you are getting a DC field voltage. On the voltage regulator there are terminals to different pieces of equipment on the machine. Look for the terminals that are designated F1 and F2. These should have a DC voltage on them. Also look for a potentiometer that controls the field voltage. Turn it one way and the voltage will go down and turned the other way the voltage will go up. Make sure that this potentiometer is in the correct position to allow voltage to the field coils.
Why Indian power system in multiples of 11kv?
Multiples of 11 kV are used in many countries. The idea is to deliver a round number of volts so you add on 10% to allow for line losses. So 10 kV becomes 11 kV. In practice lines are operated without a 10% voltage drop now because it represents an unacceptable waste of energy, but we have stuck with 11 kV etc. Common supply voltages used for area distribution are 6.6 kV, 11 kV, 33 kV, 66 kV and 132 kV.
What is the voltage that comes out of power stations?
Let's look at this from a from a simplistic point of view. When working with electricity, power is a combination of amperage, and voltage. Amperage drops significantly with distance, voltage does not. Because of this, a power plant generates its power as a combination of a huge voltage with very little amperage. Therefore, the power loss over long distances is minimized. Power station voltages are in the hundreds of thousands of volts. However, these voltages are too dangerous for everyday use. Thus, they are transformed down to lower voltages such as 120 for household use, 480 for industrial, and other voltages. During power transformation, power is not lost. Thus, if you decrease the voltage, then your amperage goes up to provide the same power.
How much must be the distance between two conductors of 11kv line?
600mm is the distance between two conductors in 11kv line
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.
Does the ac generator produce the 11kv or we get the 11kv via step up transformer?
I've seen AC generators that have output voltages from 120v to near 30kV. Likely you get your electricity from a large generator, that is connected to a step up transformer (few kV - 30kV stepped up to transmission voltage levels of 100kV - 750kV), which transmits the power through the bulk electric system, then down through step down transformers, through subT and distribution networks to your home.
Where can use voltage of 415v 11kv 66kv 33kv and 132kv?
These are the nominal voltages used by the UK's distribution system, although (to comply with European Harmonisation requirements, 415 V has now been 'replaced' with 400 V. Incidentally, the symbol for the volt is a capital 'V', not a lower-case 'v'.
What is 11kv Switchgear?
switchgear is electrical equipment regulats from electricity
