FAQs

Here you will be able to find all our frequently asked questions that our customers ask, if you still have a question, be sure to get in touch.

What is a volt?

Volt or voltage is a measure of the force or pressure that pushes electric charges through a circuit. A higher voltage means that there is a greater force pushing the charges, which can result in a higher current flow.

What is an ohm?

An ohm is a unit of electrical resistance, and it is denoted by the symbol “Ω”. One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow through a circuit when one volt of potential difference is applied across the circuit.

What is capacitance?

Capacitance is the ability of a system to store an electric charge. A capacitor is a device that is used to store electrical energy in an electric field. Capacitance is measured in farads (F).

What are transformers?

Transformers are electrical devices that are used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another by means of electromagnetic induction. They are commonly used in power distribution systems to step-up or step-down the voltage of the electricity as it travels from power plants to consumers.

What is the definition of low voltage, medium voltage, high voltage, and extra high voltage?

Low voltage (LV): Typically refers to electrical systems that operate at voltages up to 1,000 volts alternating current (AC) or 1,500 volts direct current (DC). This is the voltage level used in homes and small commercial buildings for lighting, appliances, and other low-power electrical equipment.

Medium voltage (MV): Generally refers to electrical systems that operate at voltages between 1,000- and 35,000-volts AC or 1,500- and 46,000-volts DC. This is the voltage level used in larger commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and some small power generation systems.

High voltage (HV): Usually refers to electrical systems that operate at voltages above 35,000 volts AC or 46,000 volts DC. This is the voltage level used in large industrial facilities, power transmission and distribution systems, and some high-power generation systems.

Extra high voltage (EHV): Generally refers to electrical systems that operate at voltages above 230,000 volts AC. This is the voltage level used in long-distance power transmissions systems, such as those used to transmit power between different regions or countries.
