korkeajännitteisinä

Korkeajännitteisinä is a Finnish term that translates to "as high voltage" or "in high voltage" in English. It is a grammatical form, specifically the essive plural, of the adjective "korkeajännitteinen," which means "high-voltage." This adjective is commonly used to describe electrical equipment, installations, or systems that operate at very high electrical potential differences.

The essive case in Finnish, "-(i)nä," denotes a state or function. When used with "korkeajännitteisinä," it indicates that something is functioning or categorized as high-voltage. For instance, one might discuss "korkeajännitteisinä kaapeleina" (as high-voltage cables) or "korkeajännitteisinä voimalinjoina" (as high-voltage power lines).

The concept of high voltage itself is crucial in electrical engineering and refers to voltages typically above 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC. Such voltages are used for transmitting electricity over long distances efficiently due to reduced current and thus lower resistive losses. Working with high-voltage systems requires specialized knowledge, safety precautions, and equipment due to the inherent dangers posed by the significant electrical energy involved. The term "korkeajännitteisinä" precisely captures this operational characteristic or classification within the context of Finnish technical language.
