Why high Voltages come in multiple of 11, like 11 KV, 33KV, 66 KV, 132 KV etc...

Answer / bhanu prakash

ac voltage of the system is measure in rms voltages,
so rms voltage= avg. voltage * form factor.
form factor of sinusoidal voltage is 1.11
since every avg. voltage multiplied by factor 1.11, high
voltage come in multiple of 11 only

Answer / shibuss

I dis agree with all the answers above.
There is no mathematical/electrical reason.
If form factor (1.11) or multiple is the reason what about
400kv and 765kV (Highest transmission voltages in India)

Answer / raju ravula

rmsvoltage/averagevoltage=form factor,in
transmisson,distibution systems voltages are rms only,the
form factir of sinesoidal wave is 1.11

Answer / sandeepraj

i agree with ans 9
it not like multiple factors, they are just standerd values

Answer / vinjam sasikumar

rms value = form factor * avg value
basically thee value of form factor is 1.11
so the ratings are in multiples of 11 kv
When the capacity increases, this is not true. It becomes 800kva, 1000kva

Answer / guru

Its the british standard of making it in multiples of 11.

But as per US standard the HV voltages dont come in
multiples of 11

Sir we have 12.5 MVA(110/11KV) transformer (Y-Y) connected,which tripped showing earth fault,when we charged transformer it stood OK ,but on connecting 11 KV feeders it tripped showing earth fault.our service engineers found that the B phase and R phase phase connecting to neutral broken from HV OLTC(on load tap changer),and R phase and Neutral is ok.Dissolved gas analysis shows that accetline content is high,tan delta value is 12.My dout is it is an internal fault of transformer,why REF or diffrential relay is not acted?
