Post subject:  Voltage Systems according to NEC

Hi Folks

Greetings from North of the Border. Here in Canada we basically have 3 voltage range systems according to our CEC Part 1:
Extra Low Voltage- 1-30V
Low Voltage - 31-750V
High Voltage- greater than 750V

What would be the same under the NEC? I believe that you also refer to Medium voltage and Ultra High Voltage as well?

Thanks allot
Best regards

Len

Hi Len,

In the U.S. nominal voltage ratings for 60Hz electric power systems above 100V are specified by ANSI C84.1

3 System Voltage Classes
3.1 Low Voltage (LV): A class of nominal system voltages 1000 volts or less.
3.2 Medium Voltage (MV): A class of nominal system voltages greater than 1000 volts and less than 100 kV.
3.3 High Voltage (HV): A class of nominal system voltages equal to or greater than 100 kV and equal to or less than 230 kV.
3.4 Extra-High Voltage (EHV): A class of nominal system voltages greater than 230 kV but less than 1000 kV.
3.5 Ultra-High Voltage (UHV): A class of nominal system voltages equal to or greater than 1000 kV.

Aloha,
Brian
