Transmission voltages in India refer to the amount of electrical energy that is transmitted through power lines to deliver electricity from power plants to distribution substations and eventually to consumers.
The standard transmission voltage in India is 400 kV (kilovolts). However, in certain cases, transmission lines can operate at voltages up to 765 kV or higher.
The high transmission voltages in India are due to the large distances that need to be covered to deliver electricity to different regions of the country. Higher voltages allow for more efficient transmission of electricity over longer distances.
There are several safety precautions in place to prevent accidents related to transmission voltages in India. These include strict regulations on the design and construction of power lines, regular maintenance and inspections, and safety training for workers.
The government of India has established the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) to regulate the transmission of electricity, including transmission voltages. The CERC sets guidelines and standards for the operation and maintenance of transmission lines to ensure the safety and reliability of the electricity grid.
