The following table provides the different voltage levels as per IEC. It is good to note that [1] is the only IEC standard that mentions about Medium voltage. All other IEC standards consider voltages above 1kV to be high voltage.
| Voltage Level | Range (line-to-line) | |
|---|---|---|
| LV (Low voltage) | Un ≤ 1kV | |
| MV (Medium voltage) | 1kV < Un ≤ 35kV | |
| HV (High voltage) | 35kV < Un ≤ 230kV | |
| EHV (Extra high voltage) | Un < 230kV | |
NOTE The boundaries between the various voltage levels may be different for different countries.
