In digital electronics, a high voltage is the one that represents a logic1; this may
be only several hundred millivoltsfor some logic families.

SAFETY:
Voltages of greater than 50V applied across dry unbroken human skin are
capable of producing heart fibrillation if they produce electric currents in
body tissues which happen to pass through the chest area.
The
electrocutiondanger is mostly determined by the low electrical
conductivityof dry human skin.

known as high voltage symbol)

Series compensation:
Series compensation was invented by ABB in
1950. It made possible the world's first 400
kV transmission in the 1950s by resolving the
issue of how to transmit power over long
distances.
