Default Re: Why do we use multiples of 11 as voltage in transmission lines?

Hi,
Its simple...
Transformer comes into picture when you talk about transmission.

Transfomer Induced voltage equation contains 4.44 factor.

E=4.44*f*T*phi
E -Induced emf per phase
T -number of turns
f -frequency
phi -maximum flux per pole

From the equation we see that E is proportional to 4.4 and it is in turn multiple of 11.
So always transmission voltage is multiple of 11.
