What is the difference between HT and LT cables?

Question

Accepted Answer

HT cables are high tension cables used for transmitting high voltage electricity, while LT cables are low tension cables used for distributing low voltage electricity.

HT cables are used for transmitting electricity at high voltages, typically above 11kV.
LT cables are used for distributing electricity at low voltages, typically below 1kV.
HT cables have thicker insulation and are designed to withstand higher voltages.
LT cables are more flexible and easier to install compared to HT cables.
Examples: HT cables are used in power transmission lines, while LT cables are used in residential and commercial buildings.
