What comes after high voltage? Is there an even stronger current?

That depends on who you ask and in what context you ask.

For households, three-phase or three-phase connections are referred to as high current and, for example, the sets such as; “This stove needs a high-current connection.”

In the VDE the On the other hand, any installation beyond low voltage (50V AC or 120V DC) is already referred to as a high-current system, but this in today’s definition is referred to as low-voltage systems.

According to VDE, only plants with Un > 1kV are still referred to as heavy-duty power plants.

All this, however, does not change the fact that “strong” as an adjective does not express much for itself, as it requires a reference to a measuring bar. If one thinks with strength those voltages from which dangerous currents can result for humans and environments, then de facto everything from this level is “strong”, although this can be increased more and more.

The common electrical technician does not know Starkstrom. This means 3~ alternating current in a language. The “Stark” does not refer to the current, but rather to the electrical power of the electrical power.

In the household, 230V with 16A is usually secured to the outlets. It used to be all. Today, most E-Herde are already connected with three phases and 400V. 11KW are already possible. This is already called a strong current.

In energy technology, however, this is nix. You don’t talk about 16 or 32A, but you’re going to the 100s.

But even with electric cars, you can reach areas in the three-digit kilowatt range. You don’t get very far even with a “Starkstrom socket”. At HPC we talk about 400KW and more. So factor 40 compared to an E-Herd.

There is no strong current. When is a stream strong and when weak. That’s relative. This is a laity term. Right, it’s called a three-phase current and it has 400V.

This is a laity concept

Not quite. The term is now available in VDE about 1kV.

Even though VDE is so, it is not right. Electricity is ampere and no kilovolt. If one compares 1mA to 10A, 10 A are strong.

You should think the people of VDE are professionals and invent concepts like made by lay people.

Okay, it’s like this and you have to live with it.

If you go after that, you can question many terms from the VDE. However, the VDE defines a uniform standard so that professionals can talk about it in a uniform way. That is why we should recognize the definition. Otherwise everyone calls everything different. Then there are only misunderstandings, which can end fatal very quickly… 😉

Actually, there’s nothing left after Starkstrom. This is usually a maximum.

But industrially there is still high voltage. It’s beyond household power, and strong current. While the attention, as the name suggests, is no longer about electricity, but about the voltage.

This is the “power” for mainland lines for the power grid, or the transmission of trains.

“Starkstrom” is just a language word.

But this is mainly what is above the usual 230 volts and 16 amperes.

A word for even stronger electrical energy is not really used.

Your question comes from a misunderstanding.

“Starkstrom” is a diffuse language word with many meanings. In most cases, this means supplying three phases, including four-conductors or Three-phase currentconnection. This has nothing to do with power.
