why the generating voltage in India is 11kV or why is it be
transmitted as multiples of 11

Answer Posted / yogesh

As the generating voltage increases the efficiency of
alternator gets improve.this does not mean that we can go on
and on for much higher voltage because under that condition
the cost on insulation and cooling will increase and exceeds
the savings made by improving efficiency.
We have to arrive at a limiting value of generation i.e. 11kv.
