It's used to feed motors which its rated power is above 500 or 600 HP. It is necessary to have a distribution transformer to obtain this voltage, which is quite expensive. However, high voltage mean low current, so the conductors used to feed the motor will be smaller than 480 volts were used.

4 kV represents 4000 V. Volts are a unit within the International System of Units. As such, the standard SI prefixes can be used. In this case, 'k' represents kilo which means multiply the number by 103. Other common prefixes are:

nano [n] = 10-9
micro [µ] = 10-6
milli [m] = 10-3
centi [c] = 10-2
deci [d] = 10-1
deca [da] = 101
hecto [h] = 102
kilo [k] = 103
mega [M] = 106
giga [G] = 109

One can refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_International for more information.

What is percent of power loss at 415 volts against 11000 volts?

Power = voltage times current, and the power loss is the loss in the line, I^2 * R. At 11,000 volts, the current will be (11,000 / 415 = ) 3.77% of what it is at 415 volts. So the power loss in the line at 11,000 volts will be (3.77% ^2 = ) .14% of what it is at 415 volts.


If volts is 415 watts is 40000 how many amp need?

The answer is 40,000 divided by 415 or 96.38 Amps. Watts is volts times amps.

How much Ampere when volt 415?

That would depend on the power output (watts) of the circuit. Volts times the Amperage equals the Wattage of the circuit. You do not have enough information in your question. Volts is the force applied to move the electrons in the circuit, and amps are a measure of the quantity of electrons moved through the circuit over time. Thus a circuit of 415 volts and 1 ampere will deliver 415 watt-hours of power. Yet a circuit of 1 volt at 415 amps will deliver the same 415 watt-hours of power, but with less force.


How can you change a dc voltage variation from 170 volts to 340 volts in to a constant 220 v dc or 415 Volts 50 Hz 3 pH ac?

I Can Not answer. It is my question.


How do you convert 415 volts to 240 volt?

You would need to use a voltage transformer or converter to step down the voltage from 415 volts to 240 volts. Make sure to select a transformer that is rated for the appropriate power capacity and input/output voltage requirements to safely convert the voltage.


Convert 15 amps 415v to kw?

To convert 15 amps at 415 volts to kilowatts, use the formula: kW = (amps x volts) / 1000. So, kW = (15 A x 415 V) / 1000 = 6.225 kW.


Can you single phase 220VAC in place of three phase 220VAC?

Yes, just use L1 and L2 ( just 2 of the 3 legs), or one of the legs to a neutral wire if equipped. Just make sure the voltage is the same as the 220 volts you wish to have with single phase service.


How safe it is to operate a 380 volts equipment with a 415 volts power supply?

Look on the equipment near where the electrical cable enters, and there should be a small plate with the correct voltage range printed on it.


How many amps will a 3 phase 415 volt 12 kw heater draw?

100 KW divided by 415 volts is 241 amperes. Power = voltage times current, so current = power divided by voltage.

What is the output watts when generator producing 415volts at 800amps load?

To calculate the output power in watts, multiply the voltage by the current. In this case, the output power would be 332,000 watts (415 volts x 800 amps = 332,000 watts).
