Answer Posted / siddhesh mhatre
reason is something historical: in olden days when the electricity became popular, engineers had a misconception that there would be a voltage loss of around 10% in the transmission line. So, in order to get 10 kilovolts at the load point, they started sending 11 kilovolts from supply side. This is the reason. It has nothing to do with form factor (1.11).
Nowadays that thought has changed and we are using 400 V instead of 440 V, or 230 V instead of 220 V.
