In Railway,why we are used HT Line 25KV ?.why we are not
used 11KV,33KV and others for This?

Answer Posted / salah

The choice of 25 kV was not based on a neat and tidy ratio
of the supply voltage, but rather related to the efficiency
of power transmission as a function of voltage and cost.
For a given power level, a higher voltage allows for a
lower current and usually better efficiency at the greater
cost for high voltage equipment. It was found that 25kV was
an optimal point, where an even higher voltage would still
improve efficiency but not by a significant amount in
relation to the higher costs incurred by the need for
greater clearance and larger insulators.
