Hebrew term
קו מתח עליון / קו מתח גבוה
Hebrew to English
Tech/Engineering
Energy / Power Generation
Hello all,
These are terms for two different types or grades of power lines for transporting electricity (from a power plant to a distribution station, I think). I need to find the English terms that would be best for each and would clearly differentiate between them.
Thanks!

Ultra High Voltage Line / High Voltage Line
This is not my area of expertise, but this wikipedia reference seems to be right on:
"Overhead power transmission lines are classified in the electrical power industry by the range of voltages:
Low voltage – less than 1000 volts, used for connection between a residential or small commercial customer and the utility.
Medium Voltage – between 1000 volts (1 kV) and to about 33 kV, used for distribution in urban and rural areas.
High Voltage – between 33 kV and about 230 kV, used for sub-transmission and transmission of bulk quantities of electric power and connection to very large consumers.
Extra High Voltage – over 230 kV, up to about 800 kV, used for long distance, very high power transmission.
Ultra High Voltage – higher than 800 kV."

Note from asker:
| Great, thanks - that's very helpful. That makes mine "high" and "extra high," I think. Although strangely, where there is a number mentioned it's 160KV and refers to the מתח עליון line. |

upper voltage line / high-voltage line
קו מתח גבוה- high-voltage line (sometimes "high-voltage transmission line" is also used)
קו מתח עליון-upper voltage line (or ceiling voltage)

I'm not sure about the second term though, as there seems to be an even higher category called קו מתח על (not mentioned in my document). Also, it seems like there are too few instances of "upper voltage line" in Google.
I just found something about an "ultra-high voltage line," but I'm not sure which one that would be.
