What is high voltage

A mobile phone is operated from a 4V battery. It may be destroyed if anyone attempts to operate it from a 12V car battery. Therefore 12V is quite a high voltage for a mobile phone.

230kV

What is high voltage


carry the power to Dhaka

Step down transformer is used to reduce the voltage to 33kV

230kV

230kV referredStep up High voltage is specially to transformer is Long transmission line used to used to rise the electrical power system. 33kV
At Kaptai we generate at 11kV or 21kV

voltage to 132kV or 230kV

Step down transformer is used to reduce the voltage to 11kV

11kV
11kV 400V

Another Step down transformer is used to reduce the voltage further to 400V suitable for end user.

230V
Domestic users get electricity at 230Volt.

What is high voltage


Below 11kV : Low voltage 11kV 100kV : HV (high Voltage) 100kV 400kV : VHV (Very high voltage) 400kV and above : EHV ( Extra high voltage) UHV : Ultra high voltage

Loss in transmission lines to be transmission wer over the same line. line = I2R,

2I I

R is the resistance of the line.

New Loss in transmission line (2I)2R=4I2R

Dhaka

Therefore we conclude that it is not Equation for I I wise to increase the line current tois power transmit more power over a line, P= V I Cos keeping the voltage same.

Loss in transmission line = I2R, is the resistance Basically it is requiredRfor transmission lines to be of the line. able to transmit more power over the same line. Kaptai

Why high voltage

Dhaka

Therefore we see that if the transmission Equation for Transformer line voltage is increased it is power capable is of transmitting more power without V P= V I Cos increasing the power loss in the line.

Trends in voltage growth


Ac voltage

Unfortunately it is a very old data. Students are In our country the highest requested operating to update voltage is 230kV.it. We may realize our position related to the global trend.

Trends in voltage growth


dc voltage

Unfortunately In our country we HVDC transmission not have has been do proven to any HVDC be less attractive to the power transmission system system so far. engineers.

Fields of applications of HV
Power system engineering Research laboratories Industries Interested Nuclear research, particle students may find accelerators new areas of Electrostatic precipitators application of coils HV Automobile ignition Medical applications like X-ray machine

What we learn in High Voltage Engineering


Testing of HV equipments like power transformers, bushings, CB, insulators, cables etc. Usually tests are done at a voltage much higher than the operating voltage.
Generation, measurement and control of different types of HV.

What we learn in High Voltage Engineering


Failure mechanism of HV equipments caused by HV stress. Breakdown mechanism of different types of insulating materials ( solid, liquid, gas, vacuum) under different types of voltages (ac, dc, li, si). Computer simulation of HV systems so as to (i) forecast before causing actual breakdown (ii) Provide guideline towards improved design. Provide technical assistance toward designing HV equipments to be operated at further higher voltages.

Few future prospects of HV


For cosmopolitan cities overhead distributionInterested lines are not allowed any more. HV underground cables of students may add compact size is the solution. new names fix-and-forget to this Compact all-in-one type GIS substations are required in near list. future. HV has some residential and industrial applications like water treatment plant, insect killer/repeller, exhaust air purifier etc.
