According to VDE regulations voltage levels up to 1 kV are referred to as low voltage and over 1 kV as high voltage.
In the electrical power engineering conceptual classifications into subcategories medium voltage, high voltage and extra high voltage are common, the boundaries are not standardized though.
In energy grid structures and systems electrical energy is transferred on high voltage transmission with following standard nominal voltages:
Medium voltage: 3kV, 6kV, 10kV, 15kV, 20kV, 30kV
- Typical applications:
- Supply individual neighborhoods or towns
- Direct supply of industrial enterprises and large customers
High voltage: 60 kV, 110 kV
- Applications:
- Serving smaller cities
- Overland supply
- Connection of smaller power plants
Ultra High Voltage: 220 kV, 380 kV, 500 kV, 700 kV, 1150 kV
- Applications:
- Supply of big cities and large areas
- Interconnections for national energy exchange
- Connection of large power plants
