230 kV is typically found in which part of the electric network?

• A. Industrial Systems
• B. Distribution Systems
• C. Transmission Systems
• D. Generation Systems

Answer: (C)

High-voltage lines like 230 kV are used to move large amounts of power over long distances with lower losses. This voltage level is typical for the transmission portion of the electric grid, which sits between generation and distribution. Generation plants generate power at lower internal voltages and send it up to transmission voltages with transformers; distribution then steps the voltage down for local use. Industrial systems operate at locally used voltages, not bulk transmission voltages. So, 230 kV is characteristic of transmission systems.
