What is the typical voltage of a power line?

2025-08-10

Power lines operate at a wide range of voltages, which are categorized based on their function in the electrical grid. These are generally classified into:

  • Extra-High Voltage (EHV) / High Voltage (HV): Used for long-distance transmission from power plants to substations. These lines can carry anywhere from 110 kV (kilovolts) to over 765 kV to minimize energy loss. Our large-scale overhead transmission line equipment, such as tension stringing equipment, is designed to handle the demanding requirements of these high-voltage systems.

  • Medium Voltage (MV): Used for regional distribution from substations to local areas. Common voltages range from 1 kV to 35 kV.

  • Low Voltage (LV): Used for final distribution to residential and commercial customers. This is the electricity you find in homes and small businesses, typically under 1 kV (e.g., 230V or 415V).

Our products, including a wide array of tools and accessories for both overhead and underground projects, are engineered to safely and efficiently manage all of these voltage levels.
