Voltage Levels in India (LV / MV / HV)

Indian power systems use a set of standard voltage levels across distribution and transmission.

LevelVoltageUse
LV230 V / 415 VConsumer / distribution
MV11 kV / 33 kVPrimary distribution
HV66 kV / 132 kVSub-transmission
EHV220 kV / 400 kVTransmission
UHV765 kVBulk transmission

Structures and switchgear are rated to the relevant voltage class and clearances.
