India Voltage

07/07/2010 2:42 AM

Hi,

I am new in this field so I need your help.

Can anyone explain to me why in India generating voltage is 11 KV ?

Is there any technical reason? (Excluding Trasmission loss)

Probably just historical inertia...too late to change it now so why worry?

Indian Generators follow British Practice & it is 6.6 Kv @ 50 Hz.Please remember

the earlier answers if you have gone through before wasting Your valuable time &

forum's unvaluable time in putting such questions. Sorry.
