High voltage is all relative. To me, 5v is high; most of what I deal with is 3.3v or 1.8v. Residential guys see 480 as high voltage. Some linesmen don't see it as high until they are at 115kV."High Voltage" must be a gag. No way primary 12k volt to 240v secondary xfmr fits in there?
3.3 and 1.8 kv are interesting voltages. What are those used for?High voltage is all relative. To me, 5v is high; most of what I deal with is 3.3v or 1.8v. Residential guys see 480 as high voltage. Some linesmen don't see it as high until they are at 115kV.

Oh, my brain inserted a "k" in thereI think he means just volts and not kilovolts. 3.3V and 1.8V are common DC voltages to power integrated circuits. Over the years the supply voltage for ICs has dropped significantly as device geometries have gotten scaled down in size along the lines of Moore's Law. 0.8 VDC is used in digital ICs, including those in smart phones.
