Why are the voltage levels in a powersystem are 11KV,33KV
etc., why not 10KV,30KV?

Answer Posted / g hanmanth redfy

To ttransmit power to long distances we need more force (voltage)to move the electrons that's why the voltage in transmission lines are very high.And another reason is when,we increase the voltage level automatically current will ddecreases.This helps the size of the conductor is low.hence cost of the conductor decreases.
