Generally, a few transformers are used

Why do chemical plants generally be connected to high-voltage electricity of 10 kV or 20 kV, which requires them to have their own transformers? Why not connect them directly to low-voltage electricity of 380 V or 220 V?

High school teaches the principles of high-voltage power transmission; look it up – voltage is increased in order to reduce transmission losses.

There are also some high-voltage motors that require high-voltage power supplies

There are high-voltage motors; I haven’t seen exactly what size they are, but I’ve heard others talk about them.

On the motor nameplate, is rated voltage × rated current ≠ rated power? Why?

That way the cable will be smaller; copper is so expensive, you know
