form factor of alternating current is 1.1 not 1.11, which
is the ratio of rms value to average value of alternating
current.so generation of ac voltage is in multiple of 11,
like 11kv,33kv,44kv,66kv etc
so every conductor has disc so the minimum range of disc is
11kv and if the voltage is high so we use another 11kv disc
so it increases number of discs
The answers mentioning the form factor 1.1 are correct.
Just one clarification...
1.1 is form factor of a Sine wave...hence ac voltage being
a sine wave holds Form Factor of 1.1
FORM FACTOR of sine wave is 1.11
rms/avg=(im/root2)/(2*im/pi) = 1.11
FF of square wave is 1.00 n triangular is 1.15
so i think form factor is not the only logic behind
11kv/33kv but while the generator o/p formula suggest there
are certain terms multiplied with the form factor(1.11) n
it is forcibly made to a standadadised value by changing
certain parameters..
As per our Indian standard it is derived from the form
factor I quite agrree to this answer because one question
arise why not 22,44,55,77..... & why 400 KV?
