Voltage in France 1

[heaterguy]

If a medium voltage is rated 4160 in the US, what is the equivalent voltage in France?

 

[BJC]

voltage moyen??

 

[Skogsgurra]

Oui. Probablement. Ou ténsion moyen?

Normal voltages are 3, 6 or 10 kV or some other voltage. There's no common standard voltage like the 4.16 kV in the US.

tends to be 3 and 11kV in the uk, it could well be the same over the water

EDF (Electricité de France) states "Tension Moyenne" as up to 20kV.

Gentlemen, it is "moyenne tension" and voltage can differ localy, from city to city or region to region, this comes for history where theyre where more small distribution companies. You still can find many different voltage ranges over the country up to 20kv Like Felixc correctly indicated.

In the UK MV starts at 1kV, as we are now “harmonised” with France I suppose it must be the same there.

Not sure where the MV/HV change happens

 

[dede61]

Panelman,

I believe 1kV is valid trough whole Europe now for LV/MV seperation. Depending countries the MV/HV seperation is not so clear, some switch at 50kV, 70kV some at 36kV .... and so one...

 

[ScottyUK]

There is no longer any recognition of the term 'MV' in UK legislation: LV extends up to 1000V AC and 1500V DC, and HV exists above those thresholds.
