Medium Voltage: What is it?

What is medium voltage? A broad concept: between 1000 and 25,000 volts. Does your company need medium voltage? And a transformer?


medium voltage. Oddly enough, that term doesn't officially exist. Medium voltage is described in the European standard for high voltage, NEN-501110. The NEN 3840 is the supplement to this standard and sets specific requirements for work on or near electrical installations with high voltage. Of course, you understand that medium voltage is somewhere between low voltage and high voltage. But how many volts are we talking about? What is medium voltage? And when do companies need that?


Medium voltage: 1000 to 25,000 volts


Do you have a small business with little equipment? Then a low-voltage connection is probably sufficient. Your connection then provides up to 1000 volts of alternating voltage. Enough for your lamps, a few computers, and the coffee machine. However, do you work with a large office, heavy machinery or a professional kitchen? Then you need more power. And therefore also an electricity connection with sufficient voltage. From 1000 volts we speak of medium voltage, up to 25,000 volts. Medium voltage is therefore a rather broad concept.


Transformers convert voltage


What is medium voltage? Then you know now, in voltages then. But you also know that all voltage comes from the high-voltage grid of the grid operator. You can see the electricity pylons in the meadows. The pylons carry a high voltage: between 25,000 and 380,000 volts. But wait a minute. Suppose you need medium voltage for your company. How does that high voltage end up with you as medium voltage? That's the job of transformers. These are powerful installations that can convert voltage. From high to low, or vice versa.


The right medium voltage installation


We go one step further. Your medium voltage connection has a higher voltage than is good for all your devices and machines. So you can't connect to that at all. What now? You guessed it: your company also needs a transformer. Or maybe several. That transformer neatly brings your medium voltage down to a voltage that you can actually use. You don't have to do anything about that. Can't even. You just plug in the plug and you're done!


Expert in medium voltage infrastructure


In which market do you operate? Healthcare, transport, real estate, industry? And what are your plans for the future? Are you expanding? Will there be an extra production line? Do you welcome a large group of new employees? There is a good chance that your energy connection will then require more capacity. Not low voltage, but medium voltage. helps you to strengthen your connection. We are experts in medium voltage infrastructure. You can contact us for advice, design, installation and management.
