In certain parts of any developed country, there are remote areas where there is no point in having a power station anywhere near them….because there are too few people…(however, often busy motorways may go through such areas).
The generator is therefore distant, but The voltage has to be high enough at the generator…….ie, high enough that it can supply the maximum load in the remote area without dropping much below 240VAC (220VAC in Mainland Europe)….So then the voltage at the generator is often increased to 265VAC so that after the line voltage drops, the voltage will still be 240VAC at the remote area……………………however at night times etc, the load is low, and so therefore one sees voltages of 265VAC in such remote locations…. Would you agree?
