The discussion revolves around the reasoning behind the choice of transmission voltages in India, specifically why these voltages are in multiples of 11, such as 440 V, 1.1 kV, 6.6 kV, 11 kV, 33 kV, 66 kV, 110 kV, 220 kV, and 440 kV. Participants explore various hypotheses and historical contexts related to these voltage levels.
Participants express differing views on the reasons behind the voltage choices, with no consensus reached on a definitive explanation. Multiple competing hypotheses are presented without resolution.
Some assumptions about the relationship between resistance and transmission voltages are not fully explored, and the discussion lacks clarity on the historical factors influencing voltage selection.
Truthlover said:it's look like that they used the same matricial patern of the resistances
Truthlover said:what i mean is that it's seem like they used the same valors of those used on the resistance. Like 110 ohms or 44kohms
berkeman said:No, that wouldn't be the reason. To cutiermn, I don't know why they use those values. Certainly 110, 220, 440Vrms are pretty standard values used in other parts of the world. I don't know the rationale for the higher voltage choices, though.

That's a good question. I did some searching on how transmission line voltages are chosen. The only thing I could find was a little history on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission#History". I guess there are no world standards and depends on the history of the region.cutiermn said:In India why the transmission level voltages are in multiiples of 11 ?
Ex:
440 V, 1.1kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 33kV, 66kV, 110kV, 220kV, 440kV
