  2. Electric power distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_distribution

    Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electricity. Electricity is carried from the transmission system to individual consumers. Distribution substations connect to the transmission system and lower the transmission voltage to medium voltage ranging between 2 kV and 33 kV with the use of transformers. [1]

  3. Kliment Voroshilov tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kliment_Voroshilov_tank

    180 km (110 mi) [6] Maximum speed. 40 km/h (25 mph) The Kliment Voroshilov ( KV) tanks are a series of Soviet heavy tanks named after the Soviet defence commissar and politician Kliment Voroshilov who operated with the Red Army during World War II. The KV tanks were known for their heavy armour protection during the early stages of the war ...

  4. Overhead power line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

    Overhead lines or overhead wires are used to transmit electrical energy to trams, trolleybuses or trains. Overhead line is designed on the principle of one or more overhead wires situated over rail tracks. Feeder stations at regular intervals along the overhead line supply power from the high-voltage grid.

  5. Electric power transmission - Wikipedia

    For example, a 100 mi (160 km) span at 765 kV carrying 1000 MW of power can have losses of 0.5% to 1.1%. A 345 kV line carrying the same load across the same distance has losses of 4.2%. For a given amount of power, a higher voltage reduces the current and thus the resistive losses.

  6. Wellington Electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_Electricity

    An older Wellington Electricity power pole with an 11/0.4 kV pole-mounted distribution transformer in Paparangi, 2006. The Hataitai zone substation Wellington Electricity uses a 33 kV sub-transmission network, with 11 kV high-voltage distribution and 230/400 V low-voltage distribution.

  7. High-voltage cable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-voltage_cable

    A high-voltage cable ( HV cable) is a cable used for electric power transmission at high voltage. A cable includes a conductor and insulation. Cables are considered to be fully insulated. This means that they have a fully rated insulation system that will consist of insulation, semi-con layers, and a metallic shield.

  8. Electrical energy in Kosovo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_energy_in_Kosovo

    Distribution network consists of voltage lines of 35 kV, 10(20) kV, 6 kV and 0.4 kV, as well as relevant substations of the level 35/x kV, 10(20)/0.4 kV and 6/0.4 kV. Kosovo Energy Distribution and Supply Company (KEDS) is a company operating throughout Kosovo having the exclusivity for electricity supply and distribution in the territory of ...

  9. Peak kilovoltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_kilovoltage

    Peak kilovoltage. Peak kilovoltage ( kVp) refers to the maximum high voltage applied across an X-ray tube to produce the X-rays. During X-ray generation, surface electrons are released from a heated cathode by thermionic emission. The applied voltage (kV) accelerates these electrons toward an anode target, ultimately producing X-rays when the ...
