nagyfeszültséggé

Nagyfeszültséggé is a Hungarian term that translates to "high voltage" in English. It refers to electrical potential differences that are significantly larger than those typically found in residential or low-power applications. The exact threshold for what constitutes "high voltage" can vary depending on the context and specific regulations, but it generally implies a level of electrical energy that requires special precautions due to the increased risk of electric shock, arcing, and insulation breakdown.

In the context of electrical power systems, high voltage is crucial for the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances. Lower voltages would result in greater energy loss due to resistance in the transmission lines. By stepping up the voltage for transmission and then stepping it down for distribution and end-use, power companies can minimize these losses. This process involves the use of transformers.

High voltage is encountered in various settings, including power generation plants, substations, transmission lines, and industrial machinery. The equipment designed to handle these voltages must be robust and incorporate safety features to protect both personnel and property. Safety procedures for working with or near high voltage are stringent and often involve specialized training and protective gear. The study of high voltage phenomena, including its behavior in different media and its effects, is a specialized field within electrical engineering.
