Why we choose 400kv,220kv,132kv,66kv,33kv transmission
voltages for transmitting power. Why not other voltage
levels.

Answer Posted / abubakar siddiq

normally generation voltage is 11kv . if we have to transmit
this power to large distance we must increase voltage and
decrease current to reduce I^2R losses so we increase the
voltage to 33kv if distance is not large and if distance is
very large 400kv , 500kv .. These are only standards by IEC ..
any other cab be used. but we use this bcoz standard
transformer , cables , insulators , arrestors for these
nominal voltages are available

Why we do 2 types of earthing on transformer (ie:)body earthing & neutral earthing , what is function. I am going to install a oo kva transformer & 380 kva dg set what should the earthing value?

When we have earthing mesh or underground earthing network in industrial plants, weather we have NT-S or NT-C-S kind of earthing system, so eventually weather we must use 4 or 5 wire in 400 volt level (For example 3×150+70 mm2 or 5×150 mm2) in this connection I would like to know exactly the paragraph of IEC or IEEE number
