Technical FAQs 4

What is UHV power transmission?

UHV power transmission refers to the power transmission technology with voltage levels of AC 1000 kV and above, and DC ± 800 kV and above.

What is ultra high voltage (UHV)?

Ultra high voltage (UHV) refers to power transmission technology with alternating current (AC) voltage levels of 1000 kilovolts or more and direct current (DC) of ±800 kilovolts or more, a definition by China. Other countries may have different thresholds. China commissioned the first such power transmission line in 2008.

What is a UHV transformer?

UHV transformer — typically referring to transformers for AC transmission at 1000 kV and above or DC transmission at ±800 kV and above — adjusts voltage levels through electromagnetic induction, enabling efficient transmission and distribution of electrical power.

How many UHV power transmission lines are there?

Other countries may have different thresholds. China commissioned the first such power transmission line in 2008. As of March 2025, 42 UHV power transmission lines were operating, half of which with AC and half with DC.
