How does NETA define medium-voltage?

NETA defines medium-voltage as a range that is greater than 1,000 volts and less than 100,000 volts. This classification is significant in the field of electrical testing and maintenance, as medium-voltage systems pose unique challenges and risks that differ from those of low-voltage and high-voltage systems. Understanding the boundaries of medium-voltage is essential for professionals in the industry, as it influences safety protocols, testing methods, and the design of electrical infrastructure.

In this context, identifying the correct voltage range helps technicians properly assess equipment, apply industry standards, and execute protocols related to maintenance and troubleshooting. It also facilitates compliance with regulations that govern the operation and testing of electrical systems within this voltage range, ensuring safety and reliability in their applications.
