in transmission line 11kv is step up or step down? why?..

Answer / saravanan

*In transmission line 11kv is genrally step up,
because due to step up voltage (for example 220 kv,400 kv)
line current automatically goes down. Transmission line
travel is in KILO METER. To avoid the HEAT LOSS(I2R).
* If current is high, current carrying conductor
also change its size. so, cost also chaned in x'mission
system. So, we always used in high voltage low current
transmission system

Answer / venky_eee07

In transmission line we can step up the voltage 11KV to 132
Kv,230Kv,400KV and to reduce the losses .

Answer / kather basha

First of all we have to know that 11KV which is generated
from Generating station end will be stepup ed to 230KV 0r
more inorder to avoid losses, this case in only in
Transmission line.

But when going to distribution end S/S 11KV & 33KV S/S are
made stepdown inorder to use it as commercial load for
industries & household etc as 230V, 420V.

We have one Energy meter for Measuring the voltage,current,power,energy(KWH,KVARH,KVAH) & power factor.The problem is that the meter does not show whether the PF is lagging or leading.So i want to know that is there any way or calculation to find out that whether the PF sign (lagging or leading) depending upon the above mentioned parameters?
