why the generating voltage in India is 11kV or why is it be
transmitted as multiples of 11

Answer Posted / kavitha

In india voltage is transmitted in multiples of 11 because,
we all know insulators(procelain) has with stand capacity
of 11kv, depending upon the voltage its number
increases .For example for 33kv transmission no of
insulators used are 3.So to maintain the exact no of
insulators so that there is no leakage the voltages r
transmitted in multiples of 11.
