Definition:

An extra high rated voltage is a rated voltage usually used for the transmission of electricity. This is the usual voltage for electricity imports and exports. Electricity at this voltage can be converted to a high rated voltage. The usual producers feeding electricity into the grid at this voltage are coal and nuclear power plants, as well as offshore wind farms and hydro power plants.

Definition:

A high rated voltage is a rated voltage usually used for the interregional distribution of electricity. Electricity at this voltage can be converted to an extra high or medium rated voltage. The usual producers feeding electricity into the grid at this voltage are natural gas and hydro power plants. Large-scale industries can be consumers receiving electricity at this voltage.

Definition:

A low rated voltage is a rated voltage usually used for the local distribution of electricity. Electricity at this voltage can be converted to a medium rated voltage. The usual producers feeding electricity into the grid at this voltage are smaller wind farms and solar installations. Households are the usual consumers receiving electricity at this voltage.

Definition:

A medium rated voltage is a rated voltage usually used for the regional distribution of electricity. Electricity at this voltage can be converted to a high or low rated voltage. The usual producers feeding electricity into the grid at this voltage are wind and solar farms. Industries can be consumers receiving electricity at this voltage.
