Base kV

Base kV for the tool point of connection. Note that the tool point of connection must have a kV entered before equipment can be connected to it. Anything less than 1 kV is considered low voltage, anything 1 kV or more is high voltage.

The base kV displays the highest voltage between the current carrying conductors. For 3-phase or line-to-line connected single-phase equipment, the base kV is the line-to-line (LL) voltage. For line-to-neutral (LN) connected single-phase equipment, the base kV is the line-to-neutral voltage.

The list of base kV values comes from the table in Tools > Options > System. You can choose from the list or manually type in a value.

The base kV is limited to 1 kV or less.
