Why HT voltages are expressed in 11KV,22KV,33KV and so on? (ie in times of 11)..

Answer / meenakshi

every1 say the reason is form factor 1.1....but the actual
reason is,according to the international stds, for every
100V, 10% of voltage is added for the compensation of
transmission loss.

Answer / vidya

generally in electrical power system is expressed in terms
of form factor...as we know that form factor is the ratio
between avg..value to the ..rms value...mathmatical value
is 1.11...so the voltages are expressed in 11kv,22kv,33kv
etc....

Answer / k.prakashchandra

T.A. Edison invented the electric bulb which was working on
100 V DC.To get the same light output with that bulb,110 V
AC was required.Hence the form factor is responsible. If you
divide by 1.1 ,you get the average value.

We have three 33kv substations. All of them energised by same source.When i am checking the phase sequence between one substation to other substation (like R Phase to R Phase) by multimeter i am getting some voltage.Near to LT panels UPS panels are there. Can u explain whether any possible to happen like that. In Phase SEquencemeter is showing correctly in both substations. How is it happen. Explain me.Explain me communication signal will produce Phase difference on this case.

I am having a 42KW 3 phase electrical heating furnace, heating element is 80/20 nichrome material, my connections is made in such a way that 2 star connection compromising 2 coils per phase so totally 12 coils, shall if i use it unbalanced star condition (instead of 2 group of 3 phase or 1 group of 3 phase, connecting 4 phases of 5 phases) what will be the consequences and is it acceptable?
