Terminology confusion

Kelly Marie Angel
Hi all the term medium voltage has as far as I know been out of favour for a good few years i think I'm right that any thing up to 999 volts is LV and anything above that is HV is this still the situation? I ask because I've seen a few videos and Web pages recently describing  medium voltage switch gear and equipment these are mostly pages that keep coming up now following my searches on power factor correction. Which in turn were a result of my post on large cotton reels in substation you now how it is a few mouse clicks and your into something else

    Absolutely agree with Mike, but should add that if you come across the term Medium Voltage the upper limit between MV and HV varies depending on where you are in the world so you need to make sure you know what range is being discussed.
