200 kV power transmission line

Belongs to:
Overhead power transmission line
Description:

200 kV overhead cables belong to the extremely high voltage level and are primarily used in Asia, e.g. China, and Scandinavia, e.g. Sweden. 200 kV transmission lines are operated with three-phase alternating current.

Frequency ranges:
  • 50–60 Hz
Type of field:
electric and magnetic
