High Voltage DC (HVDC) power distribution is bringing higher efficiency and simpler power chains to a wide range of applications. Confusingly, however, the voltage used depends on the application: there is no single HVDC standard. Take a look at our infographic below to find out about the wide range of voltages used, and how this compares with AC and low voltage DC power systems.
