Why generating power limited to 11kv?

Answer Posted / 7anoter4

There are generators of which supply voltage is up to 30 kV
[usually 22-23 kV for 500-800 MVA].The problem is the
insulation- will be very expensive for higher voltage-the
generator it self and the auxiliary switchgear and
transformer. A medium voltage generator and a step-up
transformer is cheaper and more convenient for maintaining.

why do you add the load short circuit impedance when considering short circuit amperage. It seems that you should only consider supply. If you need to consider loads and you don't know what loads are to be added , what would be a good sub-transient reactance rating for the loads?
