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

    Thanks both I think the website i saw was from the US so that makes sense. Also there's the thing that in the electronics world  the terms HT and LT are used I've seen sometimes that even 12 volts is referred to as HT  so it can get a bit confusing thank goodness the electrical world has a sensible demarcation between levels
