Why high Voltages come in multiple of 11, like 11 KV, 33KV, 66 KV, 132 KV etc...

Answer / bhanu prakash

ac voltage of the system is measure in rms voltages,
so rms voltage= avg. voltage * form factor.
form factor of sinusoidal voltage is 1.11
since every avg. voltage multiplied by factor 1.11, high
voltage come in multiple of 11 only

Answer / shibuss

I dis agree with all the answers above.
There is no mathematical/electrical reason.
If form factor (1.11) or multiple is the reason what about
400kv and 765kV (Highest transmission voltages in India)

Answer / raju ravula

rmsvoltage/averagevoltage=form factor,in
transmisson,distibution systems voltages are rms only,the
form factir of sinesoidal wave is 1.11

Answer / vinjam sasikumar

rms value = form factor * avg value
basically thee value of form factor is 1.11
so the ratings are in multiples of 11 kv
When the capacity increases, this is not true. It becomes 800kva, 1000kva
