Why all voltage level are multiples of 11, like 220V, 440V,
1100V instead of 200V, 400V, 1000V?
Answer Posted / thunder bird
AC voltages are sinusoidal in propagation. the electrical machines are designed for root mean square(RMS) values of voltage which is nothing but equivalent D.C voltage.whereas insulation, transmission etc are calculated for average(AVG) values which is 1.1 times RMS value.1.1 is form factor for sinusoidal waves. (form factor = RMS value/ AVG value). so a generator may be producing 400 kV RMS but in common mans' term it will be 440kV.
