why we use to always generate power below 16kv.why not at
higher voltage?

Answer Posted / saravanan.p

Normally, in India, the generating voltages are 6.6 KV,11 KV. Very rarely 22 KV, 33 KV are generating. If generating voltage increases, the cost of alternators, protecting devices abd other equipments are increased.

We can stepped up / down the voltage as we required by using transformers. So minimum generating voltage is efficient and economical.
